Peel the carrots and cut into 12 cubes or blocks of roughly the same size.
Bring the sugar syrup, lemon juice and the pressed cardamom capsule to the boil. Steam the carrot pieces in it for about 10 minutes until soft and let them cool in the stock.
Then remove and drain well on a grid.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath, skewer the carrot pieces on e.g. toothpicks, dip halfway and let dry.
Place a mint leaf on a toothpick to serve.
