Lapsang Souchon Loose Tea 20g - Camellia sinensis
1 small domed chocolate mold
24 oz high quality dark chocolate
2 Tbs. wakame seaweed
2 Tbs. lapsang souchong tea
Optional: naturally colored cocoa butter and luster dust to line the molds
If desired, first decorate the inside of your molds with naturally colored cocoa butter and/or luster dust. You can paint on the melted cocoa butter, or mix the luster dust with a tiny bit of vodka to paint it on as well. To get the effect of shimmering gems, you’ll need to use a polycarbonate mold and temper your chocolate when you melt it, before adding the other ingredients.
Melt the chocolate over a double-boiler. While it is melting, grind the tea and seaweed into a fine powder.
Stir the powdered tea and seaweed into the melted chocolate. Pour into molds and let harden.
To enjoy, add a couple of your molded chocolates to a small espresso cup and cover with heated cream. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. A dash of scotch is a wonderful addition as well!
