Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder or cocoa
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and water in a medium sauce pan. Heat on medium until sugar is completely dissolved.
    Note: Sauce will bubble, so pan must be larger than quantity would normally dictate.
  • Once sugar is dissolved, add cacao powder. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Bring mixture to steady boil.
  • Stir constantly and boil for 3 minutes.
  • Removed from heat and add vanilla.
  • Allow to cool and then transfer the syrup into the container of your choice.

Notes

You can use honey or maple syrup in place of the sugar at a 1:1 ratio.
