Special Event and Chocolate Tasting.
In this special event, Juan Alonso Rodriguez will explain how to make a molinillo, the whisk-like wooden tool that is traditionally used in Mexico to make froth in chocolate beverages. Together with Ana Rita García-Lascuráin, he will discuss the history of chocolate production in Mexico and its current renaissance. Using molinillos, members of the Cambridge-based Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute will make three different chocolate beverages that participants can taste during the program.
Advance registration required. Participants must be 18+. $8 members/$10 nonmembers
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology in collaboration with the Fine Cacao and Chocolate Institute, the Mexican Consulate General in Boston, Fundación MUCHO Mexico City, and MassMex, as part of the 2019 New England Chocolate Festival
