== Description ==
Contributed by Ursula Taylor
* Yield: 20 servings - 1¼ cups
== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup firmly packed cocoa powder
* 1¼ cup cold water
* ¼ tsp salt
* sugar substitute equal to ½ cup sugar Also found that substitute to equal ½ cup sugar was not quite sweet enough for me - so adjust to your own taste.
* 2½ tsp pure vanilla extract
* ¼ tsp chocolate extract - optional Original recipe did not call for chocolate extract but I find that it does help the flavor.
== Directions ==
# Mix cocoa, water and salt in a heavy saucepan until smooth.
# Bring to a boil, and simmer gently, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
# Remove from heat; let cool 10 minutes.
# Add sweetener and vanilla and mix well.
# Pour into a jar, cover, and store in refrigerator.
# Stir in jar before measuring to use.
