    a glass with peaches and mote

    Chile mote con huesillos is a non-alcohol drink found in stands all over Chile especially in the summer time. It is made with dried peaches and mote which is a hulled wheat. If you can’t find mote, a pearl barley can be substituted. You don’t eat the mote it is just used to flavor this slightly sweet refreshing drink.

    Chile mote con huesillosOne of the things I love most about this journey is coming across these recipes that are completely different from anything I have had before. This Chile mote con huesillos is one of them.  I loved this drink it was sweet, but not too sweet and refreshing with a lovely peach flavor. The mote added a depth to the drink that made it seem substantial.  This is very Chilean, there is a saying in Chile is it more Chilean than Mote con Huesillos?
