Preparation

Step 1

Method:
In a heavy bottomed pan, add 1 cup sugar.
Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder.
Add 1 cup water, salt, and vanilla essence. Mix well, there should not be any lumps.
Put the pan on fire and once it boils simmer for 5-7 minutes or until you get the syrup consistency. Switch off the fire and let it come to room temp. Bottle and refrigerate it. This will keep for up to 2 weeks if refrigerated.
Tips: Double the recipe when making otherwise you will have to make one batch again soon....coz this is so good and it will put all store bought chocolate syrups to shame.
If you kids are addicted to store bought ones and if you are worried that they will make a fuss; pour this into an empty Hershey's bottle.....and then introduce it to them....wink wink!!

Enjoy the goodness of homemade chocolate syrup...drizzle over puddings, ice-creams, smoothies or make hot chocolate.
