    Receta de CandilPin

    I love the creamy texture and sweet taste of Candil, it' s just the perfect warm drink. We are welcoming spring, but here in the Northeast, it's still very cold, and soups and warm drinks like this one help me fight the winter blues. Candil is a traditional drink from El Huila department located in the southwest of Colombia. It's very similar to Caspiroleta, another hot punch popular in the country, the difference being that Candil doesn't have alcohol in it and it's made with panela (sugar cane).
