There were some here who drank mate. In Argentina, Uruguay and Brasil
the mate is done with hot water (just before boiling, between 75º and
85ºC according to your preferences), in Paraguay it is done with cold
water (and they usually add some citric juice) and is called terere
(there is an accent in the last "e", I haven't used it in consideration
to those who won't be able to see it properly).
Both mate and terere are drunk by yourself or shared in a circle of
people who share the bombilla (sipping straw) as well as the conversation.
My daughter, who is travelling through Latin America in her motor bike,
has posted an article about terere here :

Sorry to say it's in Spanish so many of you'll have to use some
translation engine to read it.
