Parts of southern and central-western Brazil also drink Tereré ("Tererê") with fruit juice, most tipically lemonade, so I'd guess there may be some other places here and there in South America where that's also regionally true In those same regions a sort of sweetened hot mate drink is typically made for children. Do you have that in Paraguay? It's called "Mate-doce", and I'm pretty sure it's not related to what you described as "cocido", which I've never heard of and sounds like it prepares the leaves in a different way Does anyone have a 'recipe' for this cocido? I'm curious to check it out

Mate cocido is indeed a known concept, at least in southern Patagonia. It's a Mate infusion that is generally sweetened... I still do drink Mate Cocido every now and again...

  The way you describe it is similar to what I know of 'Mate-doce. From the parent post I got the impression it was something different in its preparation and I was curious to understand exactly if/how it differs

    Agree, sounds exactly the same... Also forgot to mention that you can indeed find Mate Cocido in individual bags: https://es.pampadirect.com/rosamonte-mate-cocido-yerba-mate-in-bags-box-of-25-bags/ https://es.pampadirect.com/rosamonte-mate-cocido-yerba-mate-...

It's made with coconut and other stuff, but drank in a mate gourd. As far as I can tell (I'm no expert, never made or drank the stuff) it does not carry yerba mate at all.

I'm drinking mate cocido right now. It's basically milk tea but with yerba mate instead of tea.

  And without milk. Milk has no place in mate cocido. There's a different name for combining it with milk (mate de leche).

Mate cocido is just mate in tea bags, rather than the traditional preparation method. Sugar is prevalent but strictly speaking, optional (nobody is going to say it's not mate cocido if you don't take sweetener in yours). I know a few retired Argentine Navy guys who make their mate cocido in a coffee percolator. The horrors of war change a man in ways difficult for us civilians to understand.
