Step 5Grinding Some More...
From this point, because of my tiny mortar and pestle and for the purposes of experimenting with the recipe to try and get it "right" (and also, the fact that nobody could stomach more than a couple of sips of this stuff :P), I made the recipe in quarters. That will explain why the pictures show such a small amount.
I took 2 tbsp of the ground mixture and put it back into my mortar and pestle along with 4 tbsp of water. (if you're doing the whole batch at once, just do this in batches, or all at once if you have a huuuge mortar & pestle. In all, you should end up using the whole ~1/2 cup cocoa mixture and 1 cup of the water if you're doing the whole batch). I used boiling water, but by the time I was done grinding it was lukewarm anyhow, so I'm not sure it matters.
Then, I started grinding. And grinding. And grinding some more. And wondering why on earth I'd decided to attempt such a recipe when I was pretty sure it was going to taste awful anyhow. Eventually, I got something reasonably smooth.
