Mote con huesillo is a traditional Chilean summer-time drink often sold in street stands or vendor carts.

This drink is very popular during summer months and is sold by street vendors on rolling carts or stands.

It is also a very popular homemade recipe, for which the ingredients are readily available in supermarkets, small grocery stores and farmers' markets.

Once hydrated, they are cooked for thirty minutes or more in a sugar and water mixture, optionally with some natural cinnamon sticks.

To give the drink its honey hue, sugar is heated in a sauce pan in order to caramelize it and bring it to a rich orange ruby color, which is added to the syrup mixture[2] although this method is not always used.
