How To Make homemade chocolate liqueur

  Combine sugar and water in small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Measure 1 cup of the mixture; combine with vodka, cocoa, and vanilla bean in clean 2 quart glass container. Cover tightly; keep in cool, dark place for 14 days, shaking thoroughly every 2 days.

  Strain liqueur through dampened coffee filter paper into clean glass container. (Change filter paper in mid process if, if necessary, let drip overnight as cocoa residue is very thick.) Repeat straining process if residue remains. Remove vanilla bean. Cover tightly; let liqueur age in cool, dark place for at least 1 month.
