EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup (¾ cup) cocoa powder any good-quality brand
- 1 ¼ cups (1 ¼ cups) water warm
- 1 ½ cups (1 ½ cups) sugar
- ¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) salt
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a deep saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, warm water, and salt until smooth.
- Place over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a boil.
- The syrup will rise rapidly—use a deep saucepan and watch closely. If it rises too fast, lift it off the heat for a few seconds before returning.
- Once at a rolling boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain into a jug, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer to a bottle or jar.
- Refrigerate. The syrup thickens as it cools.
NOTES
- Refrigerate in a sealed jar or bottle for up to 3 weeks.
- The syrup thickens as it cools. If needed, warm slightly before using.
- If too thick, stir in a teaspoon of warm water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Drizzle over pancakes, mix into coffee, or use in homemade chocolate milk.
