Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 jalapeño peppers sliced into coins (see notes)
Instructions
- Add the water and sugar to a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to incorporate the sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking occasionally.
- Turn the heat down until the syrup is simmering. Add the sliced jalapeños. Allow the syrup to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Strain the jalapeños out of the syrup, if you would like. I left them in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- You can remove the ribs and seeds of the peppers if you'd like. I left them in.
- You can extend the shelf life of this syrup a bit by adding about half an ounce of plain vodka to the syrup.
