Dark Chocolate Syrup Recipe
1 cup* of natural cocoa 1 cup of hot water 1 1/2 cups of sugar pinch of salt 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract 1 teaspoon of chocolate extract** Put cocoa, hot water, sugar, and salt in a 3-quart saucepan (allows for serious stirring without spillage). Stir the ingredients until they begin to blend. Don't worry about the lumps they'll dissolve during cooking. Then turn heat to medium and stir constantly (burns easily) and carefully. Seriously, you need to stir constantly, covering the entire bottom of the pan. When it comes to a boil continue cooking and stirring for 3 minutes. Then remove from heat and stir in the extracts. Store in the refrigerator. *Use a 1/2 cup for a lighter chocolate taste, or 3/4 cup for a medium chocolate flavor. **Can be difficult to find. Syrup tastes good without it.
