Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Homemade Chocolate Syrup
Makes 4 cups

1 cup cocoa powder
2 cups water
4 cups sugar
1 T honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Whisk the cocoa powder and water together in a saucepan until smooth.

Place pan over medium heat, add the sugar, and stir until completely disolved.

Bring to a boil and cook for a full 3 minutes, whisking all the time.

Be careful not only to avoid having the syrup boil over, but to avoid scorching.
