How to Make Chocolate Syrup For Espresso Beverages

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the water to the cocoa mixture, whisking constantly to eliminate lumps and create a smooth paste.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk frequently, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. A layer of foam may form on top – this is normal.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, whisking constantly to prevent scorching.
  6. If the syrup threatens to boil over, immediately reduce the heat.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  8. Pour the hot syrup into a heatproof liquid measuring cup or bowl to cool slightly.
  9. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate uncovered until completely chilled (at least 2 hours).
  10. Once chilled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean 2 1/2-cup container to remove any lingering solids.
  11. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  12. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Enjoy!
