Tereré

Tereré is an infusion of mate, similar to chimarrão but prepared with cold water (rather than with hot water), and in a slightly larger recipient. It is common in northeastern Argentina, southern Brazil, and in Paraguay.

When not prepared with plain cold water, citrus fruit juices are usually used. Lime and orange juice are used in Argentina and Paraguay, while in Brazil lime and pineapple juice are more common.

In some parts of Argentina, Tereré is seen as a lesser form of mate, and its drinking hardly ever follows the traditional ritual.
