The Kitchn: Turn this classic childhood drink into a decadent, chocolatey treat
1 cup water
1 cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Cold milk, for serving
1. Place 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is smooth, 2 to 4 minutes. The syrup will coat the back of the spoon and will thicken as it cools.
2. Transfer the syrup into a jar with a lid and let cool, uncovered. Refrigerate for up to three months.
3. To make a glass of chocolate milk, place 1 1/2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup in a glass and stir until combined. Enjoy!
Recipe note: Rewarm syrup slightly in the microwave to loosen before using.
