Around The World In Hot Chocolate

One of the oldest hot chocolate recipes in the world dates back to the late Mayans in AD 750. They poured liquid chocolate from one vessel to another to create foam and spiced it with chilli, write Sophie D. Coe and Michael D. Coe in The True History of Chocolate.

Foam is still crucial to a good cup of hot chocolate in Mexico, where almost every household has a molinillo, or wooden whisk. The family molinillo is a fond memory for Luis Porras, general manager of Agave, who grew up in Mexico.
