Ingredients

60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
150 grams granulated sugar
180 milliliters water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk them together to remove any lumps.

Step 2

Slowly pour the water into the saucepan while whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and allow the syrup to simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a clean jar or squeeze bottle for storage.

Step 7

Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir or shake before each use, as natural separation may occur.
