Wow! This bring back so much good memories of my childhood. I grow up with my grandmother and every morning we had cocoa tea. Comforting drink with the grease from the beans floating. We had to dry the beans, roast and ground it to get that oily looking cocoa ball. Really delicious drink. Thank you.

My Mummy used to make Chocolate and dumpling tea for us for dinner, she said that was a Bajan Special. It was milky and delicious. What she did was grate and boiled the chocolate stick,then put to boil with spices. Then strain it, put the liquid in another pot on the fire, let it rolling boil, add small pieces of dumpling to cook. Then add evaporated and condensed milk. Delicious!

Never used salt, so this is a must try. Usually add some custard or flour for thickness. Also dry orange/lime peel. Cristal and Badawi...next recipe should be black rum cake. Try bringing Rene for one of her special recipes.
