Ingredients:

- ¾ cup (76 g) 100% unsweetened cocoa powder, + 2 TBSP for a richer syrup; sifted

- 1 cup (210 g) granulated sugar

- 1 cup water

- 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- ⅛-¼ teaspoon kosher salt, *not table salt

Instructions:

In a small or medium saucepan, whisk together sifted cocoa powder, sugar, and water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Stir frequently as it simmers for about 3 minutes; it shouldn't come to a rolling boil. The syrup will bubble and expand, becoming slightly thicker.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Allow to cool, and transfer to a glass jar or bottle. Chill in the fridge before using for optimal flavor and texture – it thickens up quite a bit in the fridge and the flavor really comes together!
