Tereré is a cold drink that originates from Paraguay. It is made by infusing yerba mate in water and then adding fruit juices, herbs, or other flavors.
The base of tereré is yerba mate, which is a type of holly plant native to South America. The leaves and twigs of the yerba mate plant are dried and ground into a powder, which is then steeped in hot water to make an infusion.
To make tereré, the yerba mate infusion is mixed with cold water and fruit juices or other flavorings. Tereré can be served with or without ice.
Tereré has become popular in recent years as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks like soda. It contains caffeine and antioxidants, which can boost energy levels and improve focus. Additionally, tereré has been shown to help improve digestion and blood circulation.
