@moonman There are two variants. Mate which is the dried plant chopped up, put in a container, and you pour hot water in it as you drink; and mate cocido which is more similar to tea, made with the same plant but instead you boil it, filter out the little plant bits, and drink the infusion (it also comes in little sacks like tea and is sold internationally as "mate tea") as for an alfajor, it's just two layers of sweet biscuit with a filling and coated in frosting or chocolate.
