Chocolate Syrup/Sauce - Gluten Free
Well, we had family coming in to visit and I remembered my nephew loves Chocolate milk. It was late, so I decided to figure out how to make it myself. Somethings I never knew I could make astonish me when I make them homemade. This is one of those things.
This recipe came from : Amy Dacyczyn's The Complete Tightwad Gazette
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the cocoa powder and the water in a saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve the cocoa. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Boil for 3 minutes over medium heat. Be careful not to let it get too hot and boil over! Add the salt and the vanilla. Let cool. Pour into a clean container and store in the refrigerator. (Keeps for several months) Yeilds 2 Cups
It's really rich. Add less than you think and taste so you don't get too much.
I store it in a tupperware container that has a pour top with a label on it. I would imagine that if you put this in a glass jar it would be beautiful. Maybe you could even put it in a basket with a mug and some other items for a gift. Just thinking out loud...
