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.
• Remove from the stove and cool at room temperature.
• 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.
