How to Make Chocolate Mint Syrup
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 cup cold water until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves (roughly torn).
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly and turns glossy. It should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or airtight container, pressing gently on the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This will also help it thicken further.
- Enjoy your homemade Chocolate Mint Syrup! It's delicious on ice cream, pancakes, waffles, cakes, or as a unique coffee topping.
