Jalapeño Simple Syrup is so easy to make and is great for spicing up cocktails! Just add equal parts of sugar to water, drop in some jalapeños, boil, and simmer!
Equipment
- Sauce Pan
- mason jar
Ingredients
- 2-3 jalapeños chili pepper

- Add the jalapeños and boil for an additional minute.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. (you may see some color from the chillies seep into the liquid)
