Go Back
The rich history of hot chocolate dates back to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, where cacao beans were prized not only for their delicious flavor but also for their purported medicinal properties. The Mayans and Aztecs prepared a bitter beverage made from ground cacao, often flavored with spices and consumed cold. It wasn’t until the Spanish introduced sugar and milk to the mix in the 16th century that hot chocolate began to evolve into the sweet, creamy version we know today.
