Chocolate is one of the most delicious things that exist. It is believed that the Mayas were the first to consume it as a hot beverage and that its consumption was reserved for the privileged classes and sacred rites. Today there are countless presentations, combinations and ways to prepare it. Traditionally, hot chocolate is prepared in Mexico with bars of table chocolate dissolved in milk or water, charming almost everyone with its delicious flavor.
