Hot chocolate is a traditional beverage that has accompanied numerous cultures since ancient times. Its origin dates back to the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica, where cocoa was valued as a sacred elixir. In different Latin American countries, this beverage goes by various names: in Mexico it is simply known as "hot chocolate," in Venezuela as "chocolate a la taza," and in Argentina, Chile, or Uruguay it is common to call it "hot chocolate" or "chocolate tea." Each region adapts the recipe to its customs, incorporating spices or different types of sugar to give it a special touch. This drink is ideal for family gatherings and celebrations, especially in cold seasons, and its richness and creaminess make it perfect to enjoy at any time.
