The Yummy History of Hot Chocolate (National Cocoa Day)

The Yummy History
of Hot Chocolate .
That cold winter night staple
has a long and intricate history.
The Mayans, in what is now
Mexico, were likely the first
civilization to drink chocolate
cold way back in 500 BC.
Made from ground cocoa seeds,
the frothy Mayan chocolate
drink also included cornmeal
and chili peppers mixed in water. .
The Spanish conquistador Hérnan Cortés
brought cocoa beans and the recipe
back to Europe. There, the Spanish removed
the chili power and began to drink the chocolate warm.
Served to mostly the upper-class,
the drink remained in Spain for a century.
In 18th century London, the sweetened
drink was a hit, inspiring chocolate houses —
the precursor to today’s coffee house —
to spring up all over the city.
Though Jamaicans had been mixing
chocolate with milk for sometime,
Hans Sloane introduced the practice to Londoners.
This beverage became a popular after-dinner drink.
From the American powder-based
drink to Spain’s thick chocolate a la taza,
hot chocolate today remains popular
in different forms all over the globe

How to Watch Monarcas vs. Club America, Liga MX Semifinal Live Stream, Schedule, US TV Channel, Start Time

Watch Monarcas vs. Club America Live Online.

If you love drama and upsets with your soccer, the Liga MX Playoffs are perfect for you. The quarterfinal stage this weekend was beyond crazy, with all top-four seeds eliminated for only the second time ever in the Mexican league. Now it’s time for the semifinals, and with four underdogs playing for two spots in the title game, we could be in for even more surprises and unforgettable moments.

Monarcas vs. Club America (First Leg)

  • Date: Thurs. Dec. 5
  • Time: 9:30 PM ET
  • TV Channel: Univision, TUDN
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

The second semifinal starts on Thursday between two teams that gave us plenty of emotion during the quarterfinals. Monarcas opened with a wild 3-3 draw against No. 2 León, who had a chance to confirm its status as favorites with a second leg at home. However, Monarcas somehow prevailed with a 2-1 win, which included a last-minute León goal disallowed by VAR that would have sent the team home. After getting all the drama it could handle, Monarcas is arguably the best team left in the tournament. 

América looked all but out after a home loss to Tigres in the first leg. Then the team pulled off an amazing comeback in the second leg with a 4-2 win. Defeating the defending champions gives the team a giant confidence boost going into Thursday’s match.
