Zambumbia is a Mexican alcoholic drink of toasted barley and water. An 18th-century recipe, quoted by Quintero-Salazar and colleagues (2012), has the barley toasted, coarsely ground and left in water for four or five days, then sweetened. The FAO survey of fermented cereals, after Wacher-Rodarte (1995), gives 3–4 days and brown sugar. The sambumbia made in the State of Mexico today matches the old barley recipe poorly; it is started with pulque, fruit or tibicos.

Zambumbia is a Mexican alcoholic drink of toasted barley and water. An 18th-century recipe, quoted by Quintero-Salazar and colleagues (2012), has the barley toasted, coarsely ground and left in water for four or five days, then sweetened. The FAO survey of fermented cereals, after Wacher-Rodarte (1995), gives 3–4 days and brown sugar. The sambumbia made in the State of Mexico today matches the old barley recipe poorly; it is started with pulque, fruit or tibicos. Made in 5 steps over 3 days – 5 days. The longest step, ferment the toasted barley in water, takes 3–5 days (Lorence-Quiñones A 1999).
Most of the Mexican drinks in the same FAO table are made from maize. Zambumbia is made from toasted barley, and its sugar is added after the fermentation, not before.
Sambudia or sambumbia (State of Mexico)A drink with a similar name, made from pineapple peel, or from ground rice or barley with spices, roasted maize leaves, pulque and brown sugar, fermented for at least one day in clay pots (sambudieras). The review does not say it is the same drink as zambumbia.
Safety
For the modern pulque-based sambumbia of Ixtapan del Oro, one maker told Quintero-Salazar and colleagues (2012) that it keeps up to a month in the refrigerator if it is strained first, because straining removes what ferments it; that advice is not from a study.
Quintero-Salazar and colleagues (2012) quote Moreno de los Arcos (1975), who transcribed a manuscript attributed to Antonio de Pineda (1753–1795) that explains how to make 77 alcoholic drinks drunk in New Spain in the 18th century. Its entry for zambumbia says the toasted, coarsely ground barley is put in water, ferments in four or five days and is sweetened. The same authors found that the sambumbia of Ixtapan del Oro today matches the old recipe poorly. It is started with pulque, fruit or fruit with tibicos, and the pulque kinds ferment 36–48 hours. Their informants said it was drunk more and sold more commonly in past years.
