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.
