Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt to break up any lumps and combine thoroughly.
Step 2
Add water to the saucepan, and stir until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar completely and to prevent burning.
Step 4
Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir constantly to ensure the syrup thickens without scorching.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract once the syrup has cooled slightly. This will preserve the vanilla flavor during cooling.
Step 7
Transfer the cooled syrup into a clean, airtight container or jar. Let it cool completely before sealing the lid.
Step 8
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using, as some separation may occur.
