Now, a recipe for a powerful Maya chocolate drink from another great website: The Sacred Science!

'Consumed at most meals, the revered drink was quite different from our European hot chocolate – it was thick and rich, often with a head of fatty cocoa butter foam.

Because of its powerful aphrodisiac properties, Maya couples also drank the sacred beverage on occasions of engagement and marriage. This was true chocolate, used in its purest form to achieve otherworldly states of ecstatic happiness and connection. If you have never tried eating raw chocolate, this heart opening experience is not to be missed!

 

Below is a one-thousand year old hot chocolate recipe that the blogger was taught in his travels through Maya lands.  Enjoy it and share the magic with someone special!'
