Instructions

Add a little cardamom and cloves to the sugar.
Pour in the water, bring to a boil and cook the syrup for 5 minutes.
Cut the lemons into slices and dip them in the syrup. For a milder taste and elimination of possible bitterness, you can pre-dip lemon slices in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, and then throw them on a sieve and only then into syrup.
Cook the lemons for 20-30 minutes, then discard on a sieve and let the syrup drain, remove the spices.
Put the resulting candied fruits on the grill. Let it dry. You can leave it in your room overnight. It can be dried in a warm oven for 20 minutes. But there is a danger of drying them out in the oven, so see for yourself. I dried all night in the room.
Melt the bitter chocolate in a water bath, adding 1 tsp olive oil. Put the chocolate on half a lemon circle. It’s more convenient for me to do it with a spoon, but you can just dip it in chocolate
Place the candied fruits covered with chocolate on a sheet of tracing paper or parchment. To taste, sprinkle with ground coffee and sea salt crystals. It’s better to do it right away, before the chocolate freezes.
Let the chocolate completely harden.
Serve with cognac.
