Chocolate syrup Updated in September 2023

Ingredients

• 250 ml water
• 250 ml sugar, or 200 grams
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 70 g cocoa powder

Preparation

This is how you make simple chocolate syrup. It yields 8-12 portions, and can be preserved for a while. Throw it on top of pancakes with bananas and berries.

1. Bring the water, sugar and salt to a boil. Stir until the sugar completely dilutes.
2. Reduce the heat, and add the vanilla extract.
3. Slowly mix cocoa powder into the syrup. Don’t pour it too fast, or it will form clumps.
