Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 180 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to remove any lumps.
Slowly pour the water into the saucepan while whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the syrup to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a clean jar or squeeze bottle for storage.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir or shake before each use, as natural separation may occur.
