Today is World Chocolate Day. Here is an illustration of a woman frothing chocolate from the Florentine Codex, a 16th-century Nahuatl-Spanish encyclopedia. Did you know that our English word "chocolate" derives from Nahuatl's "xococ atl," meaning bitter water? Central Mexican Nahuas drank the beverage unsweetened, and would froth the beverage by pouring the drink from one vessel to another. Yum! Swipe to learn how to say "chocolate" in Spanish and Nahuatl, the Florentine Codex's two languages. . .
