Iâll occasionally make up coffee in the morning with chocolate, cinnamon, and a few shakes of cayenne pepper. Coffee shop I went to once did the same thing, called it an Aztec Mocha. Very good.

Tattorack@lemmy.world âš3â© âšweeksâ© agoI dunno. I like my chili flavoured candy.
Beside, wasnât chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drinkâŠ?

I have no idea what coffee shop it was, just some random place my wife and I stopped at while traveling. But yeah, the mocha with cinnamon and cayenne is great, especially on cool and rainy days. The heat from the spice adds to the warmth of the drink.

Yeah dude I love the experience. Glad you also enjoy it
(I really only shared because your post ended up directly after mine when I hit post, not that it might have been the same place or anything)

Chamoy on fruit or candy is awesome.

Chocolate isnât sweet, itâs bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate weâre familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

Thereâs a coffee roaster near me, Republica Coffee Roasters, that has an Aztec hot chocolate/mocha on the menu. And is a spicy version of those. Itâs not my favourite coffee place, but I really like the spicyness if those drinks⊠Damn think I might go get one now that Iâm thinking about it and itâs raining today
