Making Drinking Chocolate the Regency Way — 11 Comments

  1. Maria, your recipe brings to mind the recipe for the Terran approximation of “klah” , minus the coffee, in Jody Lynn Nye’s “Dragonlovers Guide to Pern”.

  2. From now on, every time I read of someone drinking chocolate, I will think about the poor kitchen help and all that was necessary for them to have that luxury. Wow! Thanks for this excursion down the Research Rabbit Hole. I loved the links so we could see the different pots and cups. Very delicate work on some of them. I tried to decide which one would Lizzy like of a morning. Perhaps she would have a favorite when in her private setting room or a different one for the breakfast room when they had guests. Excellent!

  3. Wow! I’d be fascinated to try this and see what it tastes like, but I think I’ll stick to the instant variety for everyday use!

  4. Sounds interesting and I’d be interested to try making the block. But what does ‘fix pounds’ mean? I am far too used to modern recipes and standard measurements.

  5. Thanks for the information! I had already gleaned that Regency cocoa would not be the same; the recipes are most interesting. The end result sounds similar to my recipe for Mexican cocoa.
