Ingredients
- ¾ ¾ cup 100% unsweetened cocoa powder + 2 TBSP for a richer syrup; sifted
- 1 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1 cup water
- 1-2 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅛-¼ ⅛-¼ teaspoon kosher salt *not table salt
Instructions
- In a small or medium saucepan, whisk together sifted cocoa powder, sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Stir frequently as it simmers for about 3 minutes; it shouldn't come to a rolling boil. The syrup will bubble and expand, becoming slightly thicker.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow to cool, and transfer to a glass jar or bottle. Chill in the fridge before using for optimal flavor and texture - it thickens up quite a bit in the fridge and the flavor really comes together!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. Use it to make chocolate milk, hot cocoa, mochas, drizzle on desserts, ice cream, and more!

Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of syrup.
- Salt: half the amount (or less) if using table salt.
- Too runny? Make sure you simmer the syrup for at least 3 minutes, then chill completely in the fridge, where it will thicken.
- Freeze: Place it in a freezer-safe container, ice cube tray, or SouperCubes. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature, stirring until smooth, or thaw on defrost in the microwave.
