Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Syrup

1 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup cocoa powder(we like Guittard)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1. Combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil.
2. Add cocoa powder and salt, mix well, and simmer for 3 min. Stir! It will thicken.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.

Store in the refrigerator.

Substitute cinnamon for Mexican hot chocolate, or peppermint extract.

To make hot chocolate, add 3 Tablespoons syrup to 1 cup of hot milk.
