In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and granulated sugar to combine evenly.
Gradually pour in the water while whisking continuously to form a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the syrup to simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring often until the mixture slightly thickens and becomes glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract. Mix well to fully incorporate.
Let the chocolate syrup cool to room temperature. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle for storage.
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before use if needed.
