When we are talking about chocolate, exactly all the mouth of chocolate lovers will watery. So do i. But do you know the history beyond chocolate. The history starts when Cortez found the Aztec Indians using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink of the realm "chocolatl", meaning warm liquid. In 1519, Emperor Montezuma, who reportedly drank 50 or more portions daily, served chocolatl to his Spanish guests in great golden goblets, treating it like a food for the gods. For all its regal importance, however, Montezuma's chocolatl was very bitter, and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make the concoction more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen conceived of the idea of sweetening it with cane sugar. While they took chocolatl back to Spain, the idea found favor and the drink underwent several more changes with newly discovered spices, such as cinnamon and vanilla. So know, chocolate have been spread arond the world and let us to taste how delicious it is we enjoy today.
