SUMMARY:The History of Chocolate Making: The American Colonies in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:The practice of drinking chocolate began over 3\,500 years ago by people indigenous to South America. By the mid-16th century\, chocolate had been introduced by Spanish colonists. Learn about the history of chocolate from its ancient roots to its popularity during the American Revolution. Martha Washington often served it at Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson thought it would exceed tea and coffee in popularity! Benjamin Franklin is said to have sold it out of his printing shop. \nThe presentation is given by Kristel Henry who has been doing weekly chocolate demonstrations during the summer at Old York for a number of years. This is a special\, in-depth\, evening program. \nFollowing the demonstration\, gather in historic Jefferds Tavern for a special tasting and a sweet treat. \nChocolate generously donated by Kakawa Chocolate House.
