Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until no lumps remain.
Gradually add the water, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. It will thicken more as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a clean glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
