    1 cup sugar
    1 cup water
    3 cups vodka
    5 tablespoons cocoa
    1 Vanilla Bean
    chopped bittersweet chocolate

    Recipe

    Combine sugar and water in saucepan; heat over medium heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Measure out 1 cup. Refrigerate leftover for another use. Combine vodka, 1 cup sugar syrup, cocoa, and split vanilla bean in a 2 quart glass container. Cap tightly. Let steep in cool dark place 2 weeks, shaking every 2 days. Strain through double thickness of cheesecloth into a clean container. Set funnel with coffee filter inserted over another clean container. Slowly pour liquid through. (filter paper may need to be changed twice) When liquid is filtered to desired clarity, remove sample to taste test for sweetness. Adjust taste with additional sugar syrup. Then cover tightly and let age 4 weeks in cool dark place.
