Ingredients
- 1 cup (8floz/225ml) water

- 3/4 cup (3oz/85g) unsweetened cocoa
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions

In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, mix sugar and water together. Bring the mixture to a simmer at medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Whisk in cocoa powder until lump-free. Let the mixture simmer for around 2 minutes or until thickens, whisking constantly so the chocolate doesn't burn.

Turn off the heat, add in vanilla extract and salt.

Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 12 weeks.
Recipe Notes
If you would like to use a more natural sugar in this recipe that will work just fine. Reference my How to Substitute Sugar Chart.
