OK Spence, Now I saw a reference to Martha Washington's favorite breakfast drink being chocolate made from the shells.

That was probably what today is called cacao husk tea, made by simply steeping crushed hulls in hot water.OK Spence, Now I saw a reference to Martha Washington's favorite breakfast drink being chocolate made from the shells.

If you with the trail recipe its just unsweetened chocolate, water and muscavado sugar to taste.Great, now I'm really wanting a nice mug of hot chocolate. But, also, all the mixes have dairy, and I've not found a good way to make it lactose free.
Oh well.

It would look like the discs in the first picture in the link below:Can anyone post a pic of what 18th century chocolate would look like?
Was it presented as it is today in bar form? Loaves? Lumps?
The closest we can get to the 18th century chocolate can be found in the Mexican aisle in the ethnic food store. You buy a disc of the ground chocolate which may be seasoned with cinnamon. Break off one or two of the scored sections and let it steep in warm water or milk. Add sugar to taste.

Hiparoo,I've carried/used the Ibarra discs since the 80s. I hadn't seen the reshaping thing, thanks for that, I like the idea of adding a few more spices and reshaping into a more period style.
