Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 jalapeño peppers sliced (see notes)
  • 750 mL silver tequila

Instructions

  • Place your sliced jalapeño peppers in a Mason jar or other airtight container.
  • Fill the jar or container with tequila. Seal it and set it aside in a cool, dry place.
  • Allow the peppers to infuse the tequila for at least 12 hours. Test the tequila periodically until it reaches the desired level of flavor and heat.
  • Strain the jalapeños out and store the infused tequila in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can slice the jalapeños in half, into coins, or whatever you want to do.
  • You can also remove the ribs and/or seeds from the peppers or leave them in. Leaving them in will result in some additional heat.
