Directions:
In a bowl, dissolve cocoa powder in boiling water.

Add sugar syrup to cocoa syrup.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar with a lid.

To serve, stir well and strain again through a fine-mesh sieve into a martini glass, 2/3 full.
Top with lightly-sweetened whipped cream, or float heavy cream on top.

Pour the cream slowly over the back of the spoon until a layer 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep floats on top of the liqueur.)
