wattleseeds
Mousse:
3 tbs water
100g
chocolate
1 tbs caster sugar
2 egg yolks - lightly beaten
3 tbs wattleseed concentrate (ingredients see above)

To make wattleseed concentrate, bring the water to the boil, add sugar and wattle seeds. Stir until sugar has dissolved and wattleseeds infuse flavour into water. This takes about 5 minutes.
In a bowl over hot water, melt chocolate. Add water and sugar, stir until blended. Cool.
Whip cooled chocolate mixture, gently fold in egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of wattleseed concentrate and cream. Fold in egg whites.
Pour mousse into long-stemmed wine glasses and refrigerate.
Decorate with mint leaves, chocolate decor, small flowers, cream - use your imagination! A slight dust of wattle seed to top it off with extra flavour! Enjoy!
