This is very easy and delicious. It is great on ice cream. It will keep in the refrigerator for two or three weeks.

3/4 cup strained unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch process)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup cold water
2 tablespoons sweet butter


Place over moderate heat and stir with a wooden or rubber spatula until it comes to a boil.

Let simmer for 3 minutes.



Add the butter, stir until melted and simmer for 3 more minutes.



Serve immediately or set aside to reheat. 
Store in a covered jar or glass container in the refrigerator.
