Quick Recipe: Home-made Chocolate Syrup
I was tired of dishing out $3 for sugary syrup at the store, so I decided to just make my own. Don’t worry! This isn’t a huge project at all; In fact, it’s easier than making a pot of rice.
Mix 2/3C cocoa powder with 1C sugar in a pot on the stove.
Stir in 1C of water and boil everything for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in 1t of vanilla then pour the syrup into a glass jar and store in the fridge.
Easy easy easy!
The syrup will thicken upon cooling and the end result will be the consistency of bottled syrup. If you’d like a thicker syrup, just add a couple more tablespoons of cocoa powder. This is much cheaper than the bottled stuff, tastes better and is sooooo quick.
