Share a drink with friends no matter where you are. A Guarani legend has it that while visiting Earth the goddesses of the Moon and the Cloud were attacked by a jaguar. An old man saved them, so they gave him a new plant called yerba mate to make a "drink of friendship". Today, the drink is called mate (“MAH-tay”) and is the national drink of Argentina. It's a kind of tea made by pouring hot water over the mate leaves in a gourd shaped container, and is drunk through a metal straw called a bombilla, and shared.
