2 1/2 cups/500 g granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups/600 ml water
7 tablespoons/50 g raw unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

Mix the sugar with water and cocoa and bring to a boil over medium heat stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cocoa is dissolved and the mixture thickens up slightly.

Add the alcohol to the mixture.
Pour the mixture into bottles and cover tightly.
Keep in a cool, dark place for about 14 days and shake the bottles vigorously everyday.
Strain liqueur through a cheese cloth or a wet coffee filter. The residue will be very thick so change filter halfway through.
