Candil | Local Dairy Beverage From Colombia | TasteAtlas

Candil

Candil is a creamy and rich Colombian milk-based drink, often dubbed as Colombian eggnog. It is made with milk, beaten eggs (or egg yolks), sugar (panela), and spices, all cooked over low heat to create a thick, smooth, and aromatic beverage.


Typically, candil is spiced with cinnamon and cloves, but vanilla and nutmeg are commonly used. Candil is usually served warm, dusted with grated cinnamon. The alcoholic version of candil is called caspiroleta, but the terms are sometimes interchangeable.
