@jane. So cool that you got to do this growing up. My grandparents no longer had their estate by the time I was born, and then my granddad only had a few trees. His dad died young so him mother never even made chocolate because she was busy raising kids. I tried making with my granddad as a teen only to realise he had no clue. I since have been able to make a better rbatch than with him. But hoping to perfect the recipe. Any suggestions on how to make a good drinking chocolate since you are an expert since childhood. And yes it is. A dream for some of us😂😂

You dont need to remove the shell one by one..we have lots of cacao plants and we are cooking cacao chocolate in the morning...roast the cacao seeds with shell then when it is already cooked.let it cool a little bit then use your 2 hands and mash it.the shell will remove by itself without breaking the seeds..we also using that kind of grinder.it is up to you if you will put sugar or not.but we are not using sugar..we cook with condensed milk for sweetener..boil with water until the oil from cacao comes out then we put condensed milk..every one has its own style..
@telejeff5 жыл бұрын
So do you winnow the shells off, or do you leave them in? I always thought they were kind of crunchy when I had missed some. I've seen the seeds crushed with the shells and then winnowed off with airflow--I guess I just never did this because I some across so many beans that have bugs or fungus inside that I figure I have a better chance of removing them. It's probably mostly psychological, though. Cheers!

Instead of passing the powder by the grinder four or five times, try to heat it with your hands and give it some shape. That's how regional mexican people does it. I've seen my granny doing it. The powder becomes kind of hot but, in my experience, working more than twice with the grinder is a synonym of pain in your arms all day long. Tip: my granny adds some cinnamon and it tastes delicious!
