Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cold Water Bath by filling a large sink or bowl with a few inches of cold water.
  2. Combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, Shetland sea salt, and full-fat milk in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. Remove saucepan from heat and submerge in cold water bath for about 5 minutes to cool.
