They used honey in it

@@aladrasullivan9018 sweeters like honey was used sometimes but rarely and usually as a method of fermentation.

It is meant to be ceremonious and scared tbh, but people these days overconsume everything with little care or respect, and pretty much no presence at all

Yes people get silly when they expect 'traditional cultures' to stay unchanged or something. She isn't an ancient Mayan, she is a modern Mayan.

The title says "MAKING HOT CHOCOLATE THE TRADITIONAL MAYAN WAY". Then proceeded to make it the traditional European way using ingredients the Mayans didn't even know existed or how to cultivate. If the premise of her clip was to teach a bit about history and her culture I'd think that's a pretty big gap that should probably be corrected nicely in the comments.

If Starbucks has a demonstration on "the traditional African drink the way they made it" and then goes on to use pumpkin spice latte then YES someone should probably make a comment about that.

So traditional Mayans knew what all spice was, did they?

She's from Belize.

Kava kava is great. I used to drink it for my insomnia

🤣Malo

She's Maya. Also, it's Mexica.

​@@lovelymelly87however through Azteca also drank it and it was part of their culture as well. He isn't wrong. He never mentioned HER at all. 👀

They had honey and vanilla

@@josejonhson674 “Rarely did they add any sweetener - once in a while honey, but mainly to try to ferment it,” says anthropologist Joel Palka, of the University of Illinois

@@cejannuzi they in this case is referring to the Mayans. However neither the Aztecs, Mayans nor Olmecs added sugar.

@@Seraph10101 do you think Mayans are still stuck in an ancient culture ? This drink has been made for thousands of years. Maybe the recipe has changed a little like everything else has.

@@AnotherGrimyKid the mayans didn't add sweetener in any variation of their methods of preparation. I don't think they are stuck in an ancient culture. They certainly add it now because it's a lot awesomer with sugar.

I don't think she's from Mexico , more likely Belize where English is the national language

Viva Mexico is representation of where I’m from I know where my language originated from and she speaks a native language which she seems to struggle a little with English although it’s their national language don’t come here trying to teach me foo VIVA MEXICO

Spanish is not mexican language

@@hahalol6331 it is now.... it is obviously one of many spoken in Mexico

Don't be ignorant. She's from Belize. They speak english. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

true, i dont know why no one can get that right...you drink it with the spices but no sugar, and at room temperature

Original mayan chocolate was prepared with honey and flowers 😊

Stfu and enjoy video buzzkill

@@planetacacao9475 they could have used honey to sweeten the chocolate. however in the context which the mayan used chocolate, and the fact that viewed it as a sacred ceremonial drink from the gods. suggest that the drink wasn't consumed as a sweet drink at all. its a european take of it instead it is much more likely to have been a bitter, intense taste like a black coffee, and it was drank by the very elite of the society on special occasions (100 coffee beans were the cost of a slave) they probably used some aromathic flowers, chilly beans and ceremonial virgin blood to accent the drink

Look, y’all...White people trying to tell a Native person about their own culture.....

francisco chavez I replayed it like 10 times and you can’t hear anything music is way to loud😂
