Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Whisk cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together in a small bowl. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add water and vanilla. Slowly whisk in the cocoa mixture until mixture becomes smooth.
  • Bring mixture to a low boil. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened and reduced in volume. Syrup will thicken further once cooled. If you desire a thicker syrup, you can cook longer until it is reduced to half of the volume you started with.
  • While the mixture is still warm, pour into jar and seal tightly. Store syrup in refrigerator for up to three months. Warm up before using.
