Mix this homemade chocolate syrup into milk for the perfect recovery beverage. Chocolate milk has the ideal ratio of carbs to protein, great for replenishing tired muscles.

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan whisk together sugars, salt and cocoa powder well combined. Add water and whisk thoroughly.
Turn heat to medium and bring mixture to a boil, while whisking frequently.

Reduce heat to medium-low and whisking occasionally.
Allow the mixture to simmer until it has slightly reduced and thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Pour into a glass jar. Allow to cool completely before covering and refrigerating. Keeps for 2-3 weeks, if you don’t drink it all before then!
