Chocolate was considered a very special drink. It was far different from any other food or drink that really existed at the time. It was very bitter, as no sugar or milk or fats were added to it, and it was often laced with chili powder. It was used to bless others, in ceremonies, and as an offering to Gods.

When Europeans first started exploring the Americas, they discovered that the Mayans and Aztecs already were consuming chocolate, as a drink. They had been consuming chocolate since about 2,000 years ago. The Europeans took the chocolate to Europe, and it went on from there. So this would have been from the late 1400s on.

What is the name of the drink made by the Mayans from cocoa beans?

chocolatl. _______________________________________________________ This drink was bitter and it was doctored with spices and flavorings. Some examples may have been vanilla and chili. It was not until 1521 when sugar was added to the drink. The sugar was not added by the Mayans or Aztecs but, by the Spanish. It was the Spanish explorer Cortes who landed in Mexico and returned back to Spain with cocoa beans. The Spanish found the drink bitter and it was them who morphed chocolatl into what later became hot chocolate.


Did the mayans drink hot chocolate or blood?

The Maya did drink a form of hot chocolate, known as "xocolatl," which was made from cacao beans mixed with water, chili peppers, and other spices, often served cold or at room temperature. It was a ceremonial beverage associated with rituals and the elite class. While blood was not a common drink, human and animal blood did play a role in certain rituals and sacrificial practices among the Maya, but it was not consumed in the same way as hot chocolate.
