Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Good Quality Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Look for a rich, dark cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Feel free to experiment with other sweeteners if desired.
  • 1 cup Cold Water This helps dissolve the cocoa and sugar.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract Adds a warm, aromatic touch.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Storage Container

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually pour in cold water, whisking until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil.
  4. Once boiling, add kosher salt and vanilla extract, stirring well to combine.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely before transferring to a storage container.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, let the syrup simmer longer to deepen the chocolate notes.
  • If your syrup is too thick, whisk in a bit more cold water until desired consistency.
  • Experiment with spices like cinnamon or espresso powder for a unique flavor.
