Tereré is an infusion of yerba mate, similar to mate but prepared with cold water and ice rather than with hot water and in a slightly larger vessel. It is originally from Paraguay and is found also in northeastern Argentina and southern and western Brazil. The Guaraní people call this infusion ka'ay where ka'a means herb and y means water.
