In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar to eliminate any lumps.
Slowly pour in the water while continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use.
