[Sca-cooks] Define "To Mill"?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

But again, the "milling" here is the use of the moulinet. The chocolate is  
first broken up, as I expected.
 
I believe the first chocolate bars were made for this purpose; only later  
did they discover (much earlier in Spain than in France) that one could 
simply  eat the chocolate itself.

The  recipe calls for the chocolate to be "milled" into a small amount of  
boiling water first. Since it's a short recipe, here it is:

MRS.  MARY EALE’S RECEIPTS, 1718, Edition of 1733, page 91

To make  Chocolate-Cream.

Take a Quarter of a Pound of Chocolate, breaking it  into a Quarter of a 
Pint of boiling water; mill it
