Cebada is a pink-colored, creamy beverage made from toasted barley flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, often colored with red food dye or hibiscus to give it its signature hue. Served chilled, it’s a beloved drink across El Salvador, especially in San Miguel and Santa Ana, where it’s commonly paired with pupusas, tamales, or pan dulce. Cebada is lightly thickened and has a smooth, comforting taste—perfect as a breakfast or snack beverage.

Common variations include versions with water instead of milk, or flavored with clove, nutmeg, or coconut milk.
