Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Soak the huesillos in warm water for 30 min to hydrate them.
- Put in the mixing bowl the water, the sugar or chancaca, the cinnamon and the orange peel. Heat 8 min/100°C/speed 1.
- Add the soaked huesillos and cook 25 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed until they are soft.
- Remove the cinnamon and the peel. Let the syrup cool completely.
- Separately cook the wheat mote in water until tender, then drain it.
- Refrigerate the syrup with the huesillos for at least 2 hours.
- Serve in a tall glass: first a spoonful of mote, then a huesillo and cover with the cold juice.
Tips
- The chancaca gives the most traditional color and flavor to the syrup.
- Serve it very cold, it is the emblematic drink of the Chilean summer.
- The mote should stay loose, not clumped.
