Montevideo, Uruguay (January 3-January 4)

Two words: Yerba Mate

We only spent two days in Montevideo which was enough time to see the obsession with Yerba Mate tea. So of course, we had to partake. I got supplies at the store (a thermos which they filled with hot water for me and tea). Then Ian scouted out the street market for a good cup and we all headed down to the water for some Mate time. Stacy loved it and is making it his new East Bay thing. Ian, Tracey and I weren't too sure about it. You are suppose to soak the cup in hot water for several hours which we didn't do so I think we were tasting some of the wood from the cup which was not so good.

Cold Mate as made by my friend Analia
Make a jug of crystal light juice.
Add ice
Pour the juice over a cup of mate (it can be any old cup)
Drink it with a filtered straw
Soooo good.
