I’ll 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.

Beside, wasn’t chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drink…?

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 isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

There’s 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. It’s not my favourite coffee place, but I really like the spicyness if those drinks… Damn think I might go get one now that I’m thinking about it and it’s raining today
