Argentian Yerba Mate Martini

Yerba Mate is drunk by most Argentineans, regardless of class or background. Typically brewed and drank as a hot beverage from morning to evening. This is an alcoholic twist on Yerba Mate Tea. I found this at From Agentina With Love. Posting here for ZWT7 South America. Salute' NOTE: food.com has never heard of Yerba Mate Tea, so I listed as tea. Yerba Mate is readily found in the herbal/organic tea area at your local grocery store.
