chocolate frosting
Chocolate was also called
tlaquetzalli which meant precious
thing, and was prepared as
follows.
The housewife grinds the cacao
beans, breaking, pulverizing and
crushing them, she selects them
and drenches them adding water
sparingly, by aeration, filtering
and aeration again, pouring it
from basin to basin over and over
again she causes it to form a
head, foam, removing the head
making it thicken, then dries it
and pours water in it. Adding
maize and water to it she made a
gruel drink the foam was fine
bubbles that tickled the nose, on
bad gruel the bubbles burst.
Mixing with other ground seeds
like corn, the Aztecs considered
this a very nutritious drink.
