Cacao has been consumed as a drink for thousands of years in Central America.
The Aztecs would drink it with chilli, either hot or cold.
The Europeans modified this to create something they considered more palatable.
One significant change was the addition of sugar. They also liked to add various spices from the East, such as cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, and crushed rose petals or jasmine flowers were sometimes stirred in as flavourings.
Milk was a later addition. Experiment to suit your taste and mood.
