Simmer gently for five or six hours in a
covered saucepan kept for this purpose only.
When the cocoa is reduced to about half the
quantity, strain it through a fine colander
and put it aside, to be warmed up when
required for use. If required quickly, the
cocoa-nibs can be pounded and simmered for
two hours only, though the flavour will not
be so good as if the longer time is given.
To be fresh, it should be made daily.
