Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups sugar
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  4. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 tablespoon butter or ghee

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar, water, and cocoa powder in a saucepan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter (or ghee).
  • If the syrup is too runny, you can thicken it by dissolving a bit of cornstarch in water and adding it to the syrup. Stir well.

Notes
