Mexicooo

The other week was Mexican culinary week. So when I started to look up some recipes in the internet I encountered this Azteque-Gold drink. 

I checked the ingredients of the recipe and imagined how it would taste like. In that moment I had this flash back to the year 2012, end of May: Berkeley, California, some small Mexican café. What I remember is the Mexican Hot Chocolate I drank in that café. 

In fact it was always on my mind after I left Berkeley. Every time I had a Hot Chocolate I wished it could have been a Mexican one. But never did I think of preparing it myself until I found the Azteque-Gold recipe. What I want is to share it with you, so that you can be part of this Mexican Hot Chocolate dream as well! Enjoy!
