It's Friday!...

Friday is ALWAYS a day of rejoicing for me... Something in me says, "YAY! Let's celebrate we made it through the week!" So, for me rejoicing always means some form of chocolate. (grin). So, I thought I'd write down this easy recipe for chocolate syrup, so you can make your own chocolate milk. :0)

Ingredients
1 c. cocoa or carob powder (unsweetened)
2 c. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
1 ¼ c. water
1 Tbsp. vanilla

In a 1 qt saucepan, combine the cocoa, sugar and salt. Mix together until no cocoa/carob lumps remain. Add the water, and stir. Place over medium heat, and stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved (but do not boil), then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla once syrup is cool.

Store in a covered jar in refrigerator for 2-3 months. It will be thick when cold, and thin when reheated.

A couple of notes:

-When you have a someone that can not tolerate regular milk, add this to their milk to create a chocolate milk or warm up for a hot chocolate.

-Another option is to blend it with bananas and create a chocolate banana smoothie. :0)...

Have a Happy Friday!!!
