The name chocolate comes from the Nahualt language "xocolatl" (or bitter water). The milk has not been known until the arrival of the Spaniards people to the Americas. Some clues indicate that around 1000 years before Christ age, the cacao pulp was fermented to obtain a kind of "cold beer". This delicious and coveted beverage was very popular in weddings and other important events. Some times this drink was spicy with chili and other kind of plants.
When the Spaniards settled down in the New Spain (today Mexico) they enjoyed so much the beverage. They added vanilla, sugar, milk and cinnamont to the drink. The chocolate was well accepted in the Spanish court and after in the whole Europe.
