Notes
*Nutritional information is based on a 2 Tbsp serving.
**Make your own buttermilk by adding 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice to a 1/2 cup measuring cup, then filling it with milk. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
***If using cocoa powder instead of extract: reduce heat to low, whisk in cocoa powder, and stir constantly until fully incorporated. This may take a few minutes.
To STORE leftover syrup, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or mason jar. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the syrup thickens too much in the fridge, warm it up in the microwave or on the stove over low heat, stirring until smooth.
For longer storage, FREEZE the syrup in an airtight container for up to 3months. When ready to use, thaw it in the fridge overnight and REHEAT gently on the stove or in the microwave.
