Year after year, on January 6, the kings day a beautiful tradition is celebrated among
the Mexican and Latin American communities of the world, for some it is in the Kings Day when the gifts arrive and for others it is Christmas Day, but this is an irrelevant difference, when we consider that the most important thing is to share the bread with family and friends to find out who will be the lucky one to find the child in the Rosca de Reyes. It is said that previously the tradition of the Rosca de Reyes was a round bread, but in Mexico due to the large size of the families the Rosca de Reyes was lengthened so that each member of the family could reach a slice, which is generally a generous size with the desire that each slice could be thick enough to hide the child.

In each family or group of people, cutting the Rosca de Reyes has some variations,
since there are families that let everyone choose where they want to cut their piece
from, while in others it is the next slice. The Rosca de Reyes is accompanied by a
delicious hot chocolate and the excitement of whether or not the baby Jesus will be
find by someone, because whoever gets it will be responsible for bringing the tamales for Candlemas Day on February 2nd. The relevance of finding the child is a symbol of abundance because this represents that the person has enough to share food with others. Occasions have been heard that people even had swallow the child in order to comply with the tamales, but it will definitely not be our case and less with the new news.

The last couple of years, the tradition of the Rosca de Reyes has had a series of
updates in response to contemporary times, when we can find a Rosca de Reyes filled with chocolate, dulce de leche, crema de nata, jams, nuts, among other delights.

Likewise, instead of only finding plastic or ceramic baby Jesus and the Wise Kings, you can currently find themed Rosca de Reyes decorated according to contemporary films, and in these Rosca de Reyes you can find figures of their characters, whether from Star Wars, Toy Story, Spiderman , and the one that was most popular, Baby Yoda.

Hot Chocolate

The traditional drink to accompany the Rosca de Reyes is Hot Chocolate o Chocolate Caliente. Hot chocolate is a drink prepared from a chocolate tablet that is traditionally made with a paste that mixes roasted and ground cocoa beans, sugar, cinnamon, almonds and peanuts. It can be bought under the chocolate brands Abuelita, Ibarra or Rey Amargo, among others.

The preparation is simple, the milk is heated without letting it boil, the tablet is left to
begin to melt. Once the milk is ready, the Chocolate molinillo stick is used to mix the
melt tablet with milk; to make the molinillo work is needed to place the palms of the
hand as if to clap and rub in movements from back to front, letting the stick to circle
the mix until the chocolate and the milk are blend together. Once ready, it is served in their cups to accompany the Rosca de Reyes.

Although hot chocolate is an ancestral drink that dates back to the ancient
Mesoamerican peoples, to whom the value of cocoa beans was the symbol of wealth, since it was the currency with which a large number of transactions were carried out.

With the arrival of the Europeans in the American continent, and over the centuries,
cocoa was displaced as a currency for gold.

Cocoa, also called the food of the gods, has achieved popularity throughout the world, being the sign of affection and pleasure among people, both at Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day and other celebrations, giving chocolates as a present is a symbol of gratitude, love, friendship.

La Rosca de Reyes

Año con año el 6 de enero se celebra esta bonita tradición entre las comunidades
mexicanas e hispanoamericanas del mundo, para algunos es el día de reyes el día en que llegan los regalos y para otros es el día de navidad, pero esta es una diferencia irrelevante cuando se considera que lo más importante es compartir en familia y amigos para saber quién será el afortunado de encontrar al niño en la rosca. Se dice que anteriormente la tradición de la rosca era un pan redondo, pero que en México debido a las grandes dimensiones de las familias la rosca se alargó para que cada miembro de la familia alcanzara una rebanada, que generalmente es de un generoso tamaño con el afán de que cada rebanada sea suficientemente gruesa para ocultar al niño.


En cada familia o grupo de personas cortar la rosca tiene unas variaciones, pues hay familias que dejan que cada quién escoja de dónde quiere cortar la rosca, mientras que en otras es la rebanada contigua. La rosca se acompaña de un rico chocolate caliente y la emoción por que toque o no el niño, pues a quien le salga será responsable de traer los tamales para el día de la candelaria el 2 de febrero. La
relevancia de encontrar al niño es un símbolo de abundancia pues se tiene lo
suficiente para compartir con los demás el alimento. Se ha escuchado ocasiones que personas incluso se pasan el niño con tal de cumplir con los tamales, pero
definitivamente no será nuestro caso y menos con las nuevas novedades.


Desde hace un par de años, la tradición de la rosca de reyes ha tenido una serie de
actualizaciones en respuesta a los tiempos contemporáneos, pues las roscas se
pueden encontrar rellenas de chocolate, dulce de leche, crema de nata, mermeladas, frutos secos entre otras delicias.


Asimismo, en lugar de encontrar sólo niños y reyes magos de plástico o cerámica,
actualmente se pueden encontrar roscas temáticas decoradas de acuerdo a películas contemporáneas y en las que se pueden encontrar figuras de sus personajes, ya fuera de Star Wars, Toy Story, Spiderman, y la que fue más popular, Baby Yoda.

Chocolate Caliente

La bebida tradicional para acompañar la rosca de reyes es el chocolate caliente. El
chocolate caliente se prepara a partir de una tablilla de pasta de cacao que
tradicionalmente está elaborada con una pasta que de la mezcla Cacao tostado y
pelado, Azúcar, Canela, Almendras y Cacahuates, popularmente se puede comprar
bajo las marcas de chocolate Abuelita, Ibarra o Rey Amargo principalmente.


La preparación es simple, se pone a calentar la leche sin dejar que hierva, se deja la
tablilla a que comience a derretirse. Una vez que está la leche al punto se utiliza el
Molinillo de Chocolate para dar derretir la tablilla con el rodillo, las palmas de la mano se colocan como si se fuera a aplaudir y se frota en movimientos de atrás hacia adelante dejando que dé círculos y se mezclen el chocolate con la leche. Una vez listo, se sirve en sus tazas para acompañar la Rosca de Reyes.


El chocolate caliente si bien es una bebida ancestral que data desde los antiguos
pueblos mesoamericanos, para quienes el valor del cacao era el símbolo de riqueza,
pues era la moneda con la que se llevaban a cabo gran cantidad de transacciones.
Con la llegada de los europeos al continente americano, y con el paso de los siglos, el cacao fue desplazado como moneda de cambio por el oro.


El cacao, también llamado alimento de los dioses, ha logrado una popularidad a lo
largo y ancho del mundo, siendo la muestra de afecto y agrado entre las personas,
pues tanto en navidad, como en los cumpleaños, día de San Valentín y otras
celebraciones, regalar chocolates es un símbolo de gratitud, amor, amistad.
