Pinol or piñol is a traditional hot beverage of Ecuador, made from máchica (toasted barley flour) and panela (unrefined sugar) with spices.
History
The invention of pinol is attributed to Rafael Emilio Madrid of Salcedo, Ecuador. As the story goes, Madrid was inspired by watching laborers sucking on pieces of panela, and decided to grind panela and mix it with máchica and spices.
The Madrid family's factory, built in the 1950s and located in San Rafael, Ecuador, originally used a millstone to manufacture its pinol mix.
As of 2009, a fourth generation of Madrid's family was still involved in producing pinol mix.
Ingredients
The mix sold for preparing pinol consists of finely-ground panela, a form of unrefined cane sugar; máchica, toasted barley flour; and ground spices, usually including anise, cinnamon or ishpingo, cloves and/or peppercorns. Some preparations of pinol may also include quinoa.
Preparation
Pinol is usually prepared using milk or soymilk, but water or fruit juice may also be used. The procedure is similar to that used to make hot chocolate from milk and cocoa powder rather than hot water and a mix.
Availability
Ready-to-drink pinol can be purchased at shops and ice cream parlors in Salcedo, where it is consumed by both local residents and tourists.
A number of manufacturers besides the company founded by Rafael Emilio Madrid now produce pinol mix as well.
