*As a final step, let’s translate*
* *There is one country where mate had to adapt to its climate: Paraguay. In this country, whose subtropical climate has hot summers, the traditional hot mate had to be converted into a cold and refreshing drink to help mitigate the climate. Thus, the terere, whose name comes from the Guarani language, is the most popular drink among Paraguayans, where to prepare it, yerba mate is placed in a container called mate. Instead of hot water in a thermos or kettle, a pitcher is used in which water and/or lemon juice with lots of ice is placed. The drink is drunk with a bombilla, which is usually made of metal. In Paraguay, it is said that the terere is like a friend with whom one shares joys and sorrows, daily moments and a whole life.*
