Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

Chocolate Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water (240g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (30g)

Instructions

Chocolate Simple Syrup

  1. Pour the granulated sugar, water, and cocoa powder into a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, and stir continuously until the mixture just starts to boil. It usually takes about 3 minutes for my simple syrup to reach a boil.
  3. Remove from heat. Pour into a separate container and cool to room temperature. I like to keep my simple syrup in mason jars for easy storage.
  4. If you're making this in advance, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
