Homemade chocolate syrup

 
   Sometimes we need a sweet treat! Here's a delicious chocolate syrup that could be used on ice cream, on fruit or to make chocolate milk and hot chocolate. And although it has sugar, it's a lot better than the store bought chocolate sauces. You can make sure to use good organic cane sugar and good cocoa too, so it's made with the best ingredients. It can store in the refrigerator for weeks. It's very easy to make. Here's what you'll need:
           •1/4 cup water
           •1/2 cup organic cane sugar
           •1/4 cup cocoa
           •1/4 tsp vanilla extract
           •pinch of salt 

Bring water to a quick boil on a high flame. Turn heat to medium, add sugar and cocoa and mix till its all dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt. Mix well and serve or refrigerate. 


    For chocolate milk we use about 1-2 tbs syrup for a cup of milk. I'm not sure where we got this recipe but its great for hot chocolate in the winter on a cold day and over vanilla ice cream in the summer 😃. I hope you enjoy! Do you have any homemade sweet treats that you enjoy in your house?
