I am looking for a recipe for the Mexican or Spanish version of hot chocolate. I believe that it is a less/non dairy version of the drink that is served unsweetened, so that the individual adds sugar to taste. I am also interested in the frothy unheated Pre-Columbian cocoa drink. I have read about it in an obscure culinary magazine, but, though they list some of the spices it is possible to use in it, they don't give anything like a recipe, or even a complete list of ingredients. Does anyone know anything about this. Thanks, Steve Otlowski aiden@ncoast.org 1 [of the jungle.. p.o.box 1801 sebastopol calif. 95473 sells the latter under the name Montezuma's Secret. It is rumored to be an aphrodisiac, and consists of cocoa, chilis, damiana, matico, stevia, kola, chamomile, and mint. The claim their recipe is from "an obscure Vatican manuscript" Regardless of claims, it is a very nice drink. -aem ]
