Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the water and espresso, whisking continuously to combine until smooth.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to ensure the sugars dissolve fully and the mixture doesn’t scorch.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the mocha syrup to cool to room temperature, then transfer it into a clean glass jar or bottle with a secure lid.
Step 7
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before using as the ingredients may settle.
Step 8
Use 1-2 tablespoons of mocha syrup for each serving of espresso drink, adjusting based on your taste preferences.
