I'm not sure, but then since we're discussing a beverage as made in
Spanish colonies in the New World, I believe, it hardly seems to matter much.
As a matter of fact, I recall reading about rather early (albeit not
period) usage for annatto in the processing of Cheddar Cheese: it was
apparently added as early as the late eighteenth / early nineteenth
century for its orangey color, and not just in American-made versions of
the product, either.
