Mate cocido (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmate koˈsiðo] boiled mate; Portuguese: chá mate IPA: [ˈʃa ˈmati] mate tea) is an infusion typical of Southern Cone cuisine (mostly consumed in Brazil Argentina Paraguay and Uruguay). It is traditionally prepared by boiling yerba mate in water then strained and served in cups. It is a bitter tasting beverage similar to mate but milder with the same stimulating and nutritional properties. It is also sold in tea-bags so it can be prepared like tea.
