Ancient peoples of Central & South America loved drinking their chocolate hot and spicy rather than sugary. This is a modern interpretation of ancient Mayan drinking chocolate honoring our Zapotec elder Maria. She taught us the time-honored ways of chocolate making in Oaxaca by roasting cacao beans over on open fire on a clay comal, carefully hand peeling the cacao beans, and then grinding the cacao with spices on a metate (hand stone grinder). Through this special cacao, we give gratitude to the roots of cacao ceremony.
