EASY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP
Ready In: 10 mins
Yields: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar until blended. Add the water and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and whisk over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly.
- Continue boiling until mixture thickens, about 3 – 4 minutes. The mixture will still be fairly thin (it thickens to a syrup-like consistency once cool). Taste and stir in additional salt until dissolved, up to 1/4 teaspoon, if desired.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool.
- Store syrup in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator. The syrup should keep, refrigerated, for at least a month.
