Chocolatl is the Aztec name for a drink consumed by Aztec royalty around the time of first European contact. Although it may be described as "Hot Chocolate" it had little in common with the drink we call "hot chocolate" today, as it was mixed with water, cornmeal, chili peppers, and other ingredients but never with sugar (which was unknown to the Aztecs) or other sweetening agents.
