Mate! The drink of Argentina...

Mate is very much a part of everyone's day in Argentina.  There is quite a ritual in the preparation and serving of Mate.  It's a social thing.  Time to relax and share the drink with conversation.  You can add mint or a little sugar or whatever to alter the flavour.  I didn't realize that when I passed on having Mate it was rude of me!  It's difficult to keep up with the customs and cultures when you're travelling.
