Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Submitted by aHardDaysNight

"More rich chocolate flavor, less of the too-sweet, syrupy flavor to make delicious, healthier chocolate milk! We use this to flavor our raw cow’s milk, which is sometimes a bit strong tasting. Please note:  I use raw cacao powder for this recipe, but it isn’t recognized as an ingredient so I changed it to cocoa for publishing purposes. "

1. Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
