Matte

This year is NOT what it looks like, honest.
I spotted this little pot sat next to the drive on our tour - and when I asked about it - found out that it wasn't actually some kind of dodgy drug stash, but 'Matte' - pronounced Matt-tay - a kind of loose leaf tea drunk here in Argentina. You stuff your pot with leaves, poor on boiling water, add sugar and use this clever hollow spoon (which has a strainer at the end) to drink it. It's like a very bitter green tea.
