Tascalate (alternative spellingTazcalate) is achocolate drink made from a mixture of roastedmaize, roastedcocoa bean, groundpine nuts,achiote andsugar orpanela, very common in the Mexican state ofChiapas.[1]
Tascalate means tortilla water (agua de tortilla)[2] and their origins can be rooted to their noble prehispanic lineage.[3]
Ingredients could vary, so that some variants are dominated by the taste of roasted corn, whilst other mixtures are dominated by chocolate flavor. But actually the ingredients are mostly standardized without major variations.[4][5]
For preparing the hot drink, the ground ingredients are mixed with milk and heated. For a cold drink, ingredients are stirred in cold water and consumed with ice cubes.
