How to Make Cocoa Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Whisk in ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup light corn syrup. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened to a syrupy consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a heat-safe bowl or container to remove any lumps or solids. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the syrup to clean, airtight squeeze bottles for easy dispensing.
- Squeeze into cold milk and stir for unbelievably rich chocolate milk, or drizzle generously over your favorite ice cream, cakes, or other desserts.
