Pinole has been a staple food in Mexico for centuries and was often used by indigenous people as a portable source of sustenance while hunting or traveling. It is still widely consumed today and valued for its high fiber, protein, and antioxidant content. In addition, pinole does not contain gluten and can be a good option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
This pre-Hispanic food from Latin America can be eaten on its own, as a sweet; or serve as a base for a drink of the same name, which is drunk hot or cold.

As a general rule, a ratio of about 1:2 or 1:3 pinole to water is a good starting point. This means using about 1 cup of pinole for every 2-3 cups of water. However, you can adjust this ratio to make the pinole thicker or thinner depending on your taste.
It's important to note that pinole can be quite filling, so using too much pinole or too little water may result in a very thick and heavy drink that is difficult to consume. Start with a smaller amount of pinole and gradually add more until you find the right balance for your taste.
