I IMperial Chocolate excels all others ; because it is made of Sugar . the spiritual part , and not the gross body of Spice ; and Cacao Nut first well cleansed from the Husk and Shells , then cured , and the earthy Substance taken from it , so that it doth not nauseate the Stomach , nor cause loathing or any Inclination to vomit but is a great Cordial , restores lost Strength , gives Appetite , wonderfully chearing the Spirits .

II . This highly purified Chocolate hath a sufficient quantity of the spiritual part of Spices only , to correct the coldness of the Nut , which neither obstructs nor inflames the Blood .

III . The choicestripe Cacoa Nut makes the brownest Chocolate , and the fattest ; this Chocolate being cut or pared , shews within full of very small-milk-white specks every where of a like consistence .

IV . Lay a little piece on your Tongue , it will presently dissolve , not leaving grit , sliminess , or any trash behind it , as other Chocolate doth that is made of uncured Cocoa-Nut , and adulterated with Indian Corn , Acorns , Almonds , Seeds , Husks and Shells of Cocoa-Nuts , &c.

V. To preserve it good a long time from its great Enemy moisture , keep it close in Tin-Boxes , or in old thick Oaken Chests in a dry place .

VI . Take half a pint of River water , when it boils , throw in an Ounce of Chocolate cut small , with as much beaten Loaf-Sugar , and immediately take it from the fire , ( or in a moment it will burn and evaporate ; ) cover and mill it a little , then after half a quarter of an hour froth it very well with the mill , and drink it as hot as you can . Some love it with a new-lai'd Egg broken into it just before they begin to froth it up , which is not amiss ; divers of those that put either Milk or Wine , have found the addition very prejudicial to their Healths .

VII . All good Chocolate once drest , must be drunk before ever it grow cold ; if set before the fire to keep warm , it will not only burn , but lose its fine Spirits , and flavour and be quite spoil'd , remain flat and dead , very hurtful to the Stomach .

VIII . Chocolate scraped very fine with as much fine loaf-Sugar and cold Spring-water very well mill'd , is a curious Cordial Julip in hot weather ; but left it should over-cool the Stomach , it will be convenient to use the double spiced ; for the Cacao Nut of it self is very cooling .

IX . Pots to dress Chocolate for present drinking , with Mills exactly sized of a new form , as also convenient Boxes of several sizes , are to be had for the preserving Chocolate good a long time , at cheap rates .
