  • Sugar
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder

A Note About Sugar

I have made this syrup with brown sugar and coconut palm sugar ( instead of the regular white granulated sugar) and it still worked out well. Keep that in mind if you are short on white sugar 😉

Can I Make This Sugar Free?

Yes. Simply adjust your sugar substitute as needed.
