I've always heard ephedra called Mormon tea.
Me too. I'm pretty sure Yaupon didn't grow in any of the Mormon areas (New York, Ohio/Missouri/Illinois, or Utah)
You are both correct.

Parts of southern and central-western Brazil also drink Tereré ("Tererê") with fruit juice, most tipically lemonade, so I'd guess there may be some other places here and there in South America where that's also regionally true In those same regions a sort of sweetened hot mate drink is typically made for children. Do you have that in Paraguay? It's called "Mate-doce", and I'm pretty sure it's not related to what you…
I'm drinking mate cocido right now. It's basically milk tea but with yerba mate instead of tea.
And without milk. Milk has no place in mate cocido. There's a different name for combining it with milk (mate de leche).

#84I love mate. It has probably saved my life as a software developer, not tolerating the strong effect of coffee on my sleep, but yerba mate, and especially freshly stored in vacuum bags, slightly dried but not smoked is my favorite. Meta Mate ( https://metamate.cc/ ) makes a total bomb of a mate product, can highly recommend if you are in Europe and want to try out their refreshing Meta Mate 23. Have to order another…
Wow thanks for the recommendation. We are currently out of stock of Meta Mate 23 and this season is going to be hard due to the weather conditions in south Brasil but hopefully we will be restocked in a couple of months with 23 and Raw Mate as these were harvested, dried and packed before the rains started.
Moonshine Mate fans might have to continue enjoying last year's harvest....
