Back in the old days in Jamaica my grandparent would harvest the Cocoa, put the bean to dry on the outside barbeque then parched the Cocoa bean over fire and we as kids would beat the parched cocoa bean into a powder paste using a Mortar & Pestle,
my Grandmother would then use her hands to roll this paste in a oval shape Chocolate balls, then she would store her Chocolate in a jar, this Chocolate balls is then grated and use with coconut milk and other spices to make a very delicious cut of Chocolate tea, a favorite for us as children and still today my Mother keep the tradition going so I now carry on this old Jamaican tradition.
