Add this vegan syrup to cocktails, kombucha, chocolate milk, or lattes. Drizzle it on Vegan Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Vegan French Toast, 2 Ingredient Chocolate Cake, Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream, and more.
I like to use it for Chocolate Bubble Tea. I soak the tapioca boba in the chocolate simple syrup to soak up all that chocolaty goodness.
It could also be used in Chocolate Kombucha in place of maple syrup and cacao powder.
