Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened cocoa (I used the 70g foil pack of Ricoa)
1.5 cups brown sugar
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt

Procedure
1. Mix cocoa, sugar, and salt in pot. Add water.
2. Bring to a boil with regular whisking. Watch that it doesn't boil over.
3. Simmer until you reach the desired thickness. Don't forget to keep whisking!
4. Let cool and mix in vanilla. Transfer to a jar and keep in ref.

This recipe benefits from using the best cocoa you can afford. Ricoa's barely acceptable but it's all I had in hand. Most recipes recommend dutched cocoa.
