DID YOU KNOW?

In Mexico, Mayans were the first culture to invent making chocolate into a beverage. However, it was different than the hot chocolate you know well today.

 

The Mayans’ version was extremely spicy & bitter. Their recipe was a mixture of ground cocoa beans, water, wine, and chile peppers.

 

After being introduced in England, milk was added to the then-after-dinner treat.

HERE ARE THE STEPS TO MAKE AT HOME:

Step 1

  • Pour your choice of milk into a saucepan over medium-low heat

Step 2

  • Whisk in cocoa powder & sugar, and heat until warm

Step 3

  • Add a splash of vanilla extract

Step 4

And finally…Serve, topping with your favorite garnishes;

  • Marshmallows
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped chocolate
  • Crushes candy canes or more!

 

Now, whenever winter comes around along with the holidays,

you have a nice beverage to enjoy & keep you warm!
