Ingredients

  • Water: 8-10 cups, divided (for soaking peaches, making syrup, and cooking wheat berries ).
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 ½ to 2 cups (300-400g). The typical Chilean version is quite sweet, but you can absolutely adjust this in the steps to suit your preference.
  • Cinnamon Stick: 1-2 large cinnamon sticks. This is key for that warm, inviting flavor profile.
  • Optional Citrus Peel: 1-2 strips of orange or lemon peel (avoiding the white pith for bitterness). This adds a bright, subtle aromatic note.
  • Optional Pinch of Salt: A tiny pinch (¼ teaspoon) of salt can help round out and enhance the overall sweetness and flavors.
