Mote con huesillo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mote con huesillo is a typical Chilean non alcoholic drink and dessert.
It is made from husked wheat (mote), mixed with sun-dried peaches (huesillo) that have been rehydrated in water for hours. The water in which the peaches were rehydrated is mixed with some sugar, and the wheat is mixed in a glass with the peaches and the sweet peach flavored water.
This drink is usually sold on streets, from carts and stands, during the summertime. The boiled wheat and huesillos are also bought in markets for domestic preparation.
The industrial preparation of this drink has had only partial success in Chile.[citation needed]
