Mocochinchi
Mocochinchi is a delicious dehydrated peach cider drink, and is one of the most popular summertime beverages in Bolivia. I used to love to buy sweet, cold glasses of mocochinchi from street vendors when I was young, and every summer I crave it.
It’s easy to make, and if you give it a chance, I'm sure you'll love it.

Boil 3 cups of water. Remove from heat, and soak peaches 1 hour. Return peaches/water to heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, orange juice, and lemon zest. Cook until peaches are soft and water has taken on a dark rusty color. Add raisins and cook another ½ hour. If the water ever steams off too low, add some more. You don’t want this to thicken, it should stay nice and liquid. Remove from heat and pop it in the fridge. While you can use regular sugar instead, I recommend caramelizing brown sugar and adding that to taste for sweetness.
