Ingredients:
1.50 c Sugar
0.75 c Water
3.00 c Vodka
5.00 tb Unsweetened cocoa
1.00 ea Vanilla bean, split Directions:
Combine sugar and water in small saucepan; cook over medium heat,
stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low;
simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has completely dissolved.
Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Measure 1 cup of the
mixture; combine with vodka, cocoa and vanilla bean in clean 2-quart
glass container. Cover tightly; keep in cool dark place for 14 days,
shaking thoroughly every 2 days. Strain liqueur through dampened
coffee filter paper into clean glass container. (Change filter paper
in mid-process or, if necessary, let drip overnight as cocoa residue
is very thick.) Repeat straining process if residue remains. Remove
vanilla bean. Cover tightly; let liqueur age in cool, dark place for
at least 1 month. About 1 quart. From: Hershey's Chocolate Treasury
