Chokola'j - to drink chocolate together

We stumbled on this amazing little sipping chocolate place in Santa Fe with Jafari last month which has really inspired us.  We found it unintentionally, thinking that we were looking for an herb store.  It was so magical - we walked in almost in a dream state and sat down and ordered three different varieties of sipping chocolate. It was pure Mayan medicine and love.
Real cacao is good for everything - especially your heart.  It is also full of magnesium, which is one reason why we crave it during our moon time.  Lita and I have been making this delicious Mexican hot chocolate drink...

1 cup boiling water
1 heaping spoon organic cacao
1 teaspoon agave syrup
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of chipotle 
1 star anise

How beautiful that a culture had a word especially for drinking chocolate together:  Chokola'j
