Prepare the Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
