Famous Hot Chocolate

Drinks

10 minutes

Did you know hot chocolate originated from the Mayans? As early as 500 BC, the Mayans were drinking chocolate made from ground-up cocoa seeds mixed with water, cornmeal, and chili peppers. Their recipe is a little different than my recipe, but I can see how some people might love that sweet/spicy mix. My hot chocolate is indulgent, delicious, comforting, and perfect for those cold winters nights when you want a sweet pick-me-up drink.
