She speaks English of course, she is from Belize, an English speaking nation. Also don't worry if she sweetens the drink with sugar, this is the way they do now, don't try to criticize her recipe. Clearly, that's the way modern Mayas drink it, just like it happens with other popular hot drinks. I wonder if anyone here goes to Starbucks and tell them that coffee is not supposed to have pumpkin or vanilla since those weren't originally from Africa, where coffee is from.

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.

thank you. I'm trying to incorporate Mayan cocoa into my morning smoothie as a replacement for milk. this video is highly informative. I diddnt know that cocoa was given to the sick but I've used it myself as a remedy for years. thank you so much

I am here because I need to know how to make hot chocolate properly. It’s amazing I always thought america created hot chocolate

no pudes lecheta lol

I sit here as I sip my Tea and melt chocolate in my mouth... That's my Mayan hot chocolate XD

This drink can be afforded by only wealthy people in the Mayan ages

Still not traditional. Mayans didn't have sugar it was introduced by the Europans once brought to Europe. Could have used honey instead. Traditional spices native only to South America. Still yet to see a real traditional Mayan drinking chocolate being made

I hate to break it to her because she seems so nice, great English too, but she did call it "traditional mayan chocolate the way they drank it" so I feel obligated to nicely put this information here. Xocolatl, translated as chocolate or 'bitter drink', was made of cocoa beans ground up with chili spices and served only as a cold water based bitter medicinal beverage. They didn't know what sugar (or milk) was or how to cultivate it. It was unrecognizable from the chocolate we know today. Sugar and solid milk chocolate was invented in Europe 1500's.
