Instructions

In a deep saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder and water until smooth. This helps prevent lumps.
Add the cane sugar and place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously. This gentle simmering helps to thicken the syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. The syrup will be thin at this stage but will thicken as it cools.
Stir in the sea salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract. The baking soda helps create a smoother texture.
Let the syrup cool completely. Transfer to sterilized glass bottles and refrigerate. The syrup will keep for a couple of months.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Baking soda helps prevent sugar crystallization.
This recipe can easily be doubled.
You can use either raw cane sugar or white sugar.
For a smoother syrup, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve while it's still warm.
For a thicker syrup, simmer for an extra 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Infuse the syrup with espresso powder or orange zest for a more complex flavor.

Expert Tips

To avoid a grainy texture, make sure your cocoa powder is fully dissolved before bringing the mixture to a simmer. Whisking constantly while adding the cocoa powder can help prevent clumping.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar. Taste the syrup before bottling and add more sugar if needed.
This chocolate syrup is delicious on ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or used as a coffee flavoring.

Storage Instructions

Store the cooled syrup in a sterilized glass jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
If it thickens upon chilling, microwave for 10-15 seconds or stir in a splash of hot water to loosen before using.
