Ingredients

1 cup Cocoa powder
2 cups Granulated sugar
1 cup Water
1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until evenly combined and free of lumps.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the water to form a smooth, lump-free mixture.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The syrup will begin to thicken as it cooks.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Allow the chocolate syrup to cool to room temperature. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the syrup to a clean glass jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Shake or stir well before using. Enjoy as a topping or mix-in for your favorite desserts and beverages!
