I made it (i buy everything from www.tuchileaqui.com) and brought it to work for a couple of co-workers to taste and they love it!! I printed out your article so they can read it and they say its awesome because they now know what they're eating.

It should be that in old times mote was made at home by traditional methods.

I also tried mote for the first time on Cerro San Cristobal, being very thirsty after a tiring bike ride under the burning sun. Great to know more about the history of the drink, and congrats for your blog! Tasty and super informative.

You can explain it but you can't translate it. Mote (de trigo) is wheat that has been "peeled" by heating in an alkaline solution and huesillos are dried peaches, so you could say "boiled peeled wheat with cooked dried peaches and their juices."
