Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 75 g cocoa powder (not instant powder), unsweetened
  • ½ liter of water
  • 300 g sugar

  • 1 vanilla pod(s)
  • 1 pinch of cardamom
  • 0.38 liters of spirit (90%)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

without milk, cream or eggs

Pour 1/4 of boiling water over the cocoa powder. Make a clear sugar syrup from the sugar and the remaining water, skimming off any excess skimmed water. Add the cinnamon stick, vanilla pod, and cardamom. Mix the cocoa essence with the sugar syrup and alcohol. Let it rest for 4 weeks. Pour through filter paper and fill into prepared bottles, then cork. Tip: Alternatively, don’t make the sugar syrup, but add the sugar directly to the cocoa water. Then, instead of the 90% alcohol, add a bottle of vodka. It can be enjoyed neat or mixed with cream in a 1:1 ratio just before consumption.
