Ingredients

1 cup cocoa powder

4 cups sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1.5 quarts water

1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1/8 cup water

1 tablespoon vanilla

Preparation

In a large saucepan, mix cocoa, sugar and salt. Stir well with a whisk to fully incorporate.

Turn the heat to medium and add the water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

As it begins to form bubbles, mix in the arrowroot/water mixture and cook until thickened, 8-12 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Keeps in the fridge for several months.
