Ingredients

Chocolate Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water 240g
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted 30g

Instructions

Chocolate Simple Syrup

  • Pour the granulated sugar, water, and cocoa powder into a small saucepan.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • If you're making this in advance, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
