INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put water, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into a saucepan. Simmer.
    Simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir occasionally. Heat for 30 more seconds on low heat then take off heat and cool.
  • Add vanilla extract.
    Once the syrup has cooled a bit, stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour syrup into an airtight container.
    The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

EQUIPMENT

Saucepan
Airtight Bottles

NOTES

  • Good quality cocoa powder is necessary to make the best tasting chocolate syrup so if you're going to spend extra money on any of the ingredients, have it be that.
  • Chocolate syrup will be thin right after cooking but will thicken a bit after it cools. It'll still be pourable.
  • Recipe makes 1 cup (16 tablespoons) of chocolate syrup. Use 1-2 tablespoons of syrup per 1 cup of coffee.
