Tascalate

Tascalate is a Mexican cocoa drink that hails from Chiapas. It comes in several variations, and apart from the base made with toasted maize and cocoa, the most common additions include achiote, cinnamon, and vanilla. The ingredients are made into a powder which is then mixed with water or milk.

The drink is sweetened, and it should always have a frothy top while the consistency is somewhat dense. It is traditionally served chilled. Tascalate is an ancient drink that has pre-Columbian origins. Nowadays, it can also be made with a pre-packed powder that is mixed with milk or water.
