Chocolate Syrup

I want to share with you this super easy homemade syrup that I use in my mochas.

It’s simple. 1 cup cocoa, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, a little salt, and vanilla

Add cocoa.

Sugar.

Stir.

Salt.

We use this baking cocoa purchased from either SAMS or Costco.

Heat to boiling and then let boil (still stirring).

The finished product: oh so good!

Store in a glass jar.

Drizzle on top of your mocha too!

Chocolate Syrup

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup cocoa
• 1 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla (or a little more)

Turn burner on medium heat, and combine cocoa and sugar in saucepan. Immediately add water and whisk. Add salt. Stir occasionally until mixture boils. Keep stirring as it boils, and allow it to boil for at least 1 minute. This will help the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat, and add vanilla. This rich chocolate syrup is perfect for homemade mochas or any type of hot (or cold!) drink. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
How much should you add to your mocha? It depends if this is the only sugar and how sweet you like it. I, for one, like my drinks sweet!
Enjoy!

I will be glad in the Lord.”
