Homemade Chocolate Syrup

By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1.    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.

2.    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.

3.    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.
