Method I

The substance to be compressed, in the finest possible powder, should be triturated with sufficient of the emulsion to form a damp coherent powder, so that it can be shaken through a No. 20 or 30 sieve without pressure and without adhering to the meshes. The sifted product, after exposure to the air for a few hours, or during the night, is ready for compression. If heat is used, the powder must be allowed to stand for an hour or two at least for the theobroma to solidify before compression.
