I put the who horse chestnut on the grill and cook till it opens. Then take the two (or as many as there are) out of the shell and place the nuts back on the grill cooking them till there roasted completely black. Then i put then in a small metal bowl and crush them with a rock till the texture looks like coffee. Smells GREAT! I did try to make coffee with it but after taking a sip my wife told me i was crazy so i didn't drink the rest.....I guess i will never know if it's good for me! :0(

To roast chestnuts on an open fire, make a small cut on the flat side of each chestnut to prevent them from exploding. Place the chestnuts in a chestnut roasting pan or a wire basket and hold them over the open fire, turning them occasionally for about 15-20 minutes until the shells are charred and the insides are tender.

To safely roast chestnuts in the microwave, first make a small slit in each chestnut to prevent them from exploding. Place the chestnuts in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are soft and easy to peel. Let them cool before handling.
