Chocolate Syrup

I came upon this recipe for the easiest, cheapest and most preservative-free chocolate syrup there is on Pinterest.  It was a chance meeting; we were meant to be.
I've found many uses for it; I'll take any excuse to eat some of the stuff.  It is a staple in the refrigerator. Really. Like milk and eggs.


Chocolate Syrup
-1/4 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 cup water
