Aztec Hot Chocolate
This is an adaptation of the original way the Aztecs used cacao but I used ingredients the way Americans are likely to be able to get them. This is a bitter spicy drink that children probably will not like! There is no sweetener. It makes a good coffee substitute for those who take their coffee without sugar.
Yield: 1 servings
- 2
-
2
tsp nonfat milk powder or 1 tsp half and half(optional)
- ⅓
-
¼
tsp vanilla extract or crushed vanilla pod
- ⅛
-
½
tsp coconut oil or butter (optional)
-
nutmeg or mint garnish if desired (this is my own invention)
- 8-12
Mix all powdered stuff in a mug. Add a little boiling water to make a paste. Continue to add boiling water until desired consistency. Add fat (if using any) and vanilla extract. You can whirl this in the blender if you like it frothy. Add garnish if desired. Adding sugar is cheating.
