Ingredients
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon espresso powder
1 cup milk per person
Sweetener of your choice, like maple syrup or honey
Coconut whipped cream
Dark chocolate shavings
Directions
Bring the water to a boil in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Place the cocoa powder and salt in a heat-proof bowl and pour the boiling water over top. Whisk until combined. Let sit five minutes. Add the maple syrup, vanilla, and espresso powder. Stir to combine.
The syrup is ready to use immediately, or let it cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. This chocolate syrup will last in the fridge for several weeks.
Warm the milk in the microwave or on the stovetop. Transfer to a mug and stir in 2 tablespoons of syrup per cup. Taste and add additional syrup or sweetener if desired.
