Ingredients
Jalapeno Simple Syrup
- 3 jalapeños 120g
- 1 cup water 240ml
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
Instructions
Jalapeño Simple Syrup
- Prepare your jalapeños first. Remove the stems and cut them into slices.
- Add the water into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the water begins to boil.
- Add in the granulated sugar and stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add in the sliced jalapeños turn the heat down to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a separate container and cool to room temperature. Pour the mixture through a sieve to remove the jalapeños if you want a milder simple syrup, or leave them in if you're looking for a lot of kick. I like to pour my simple syrup into mason jars for easy storage.
- Add to any drink or cocktail recipes you give a little kick! I love using this to make spicy margaritas.
- If you're making this in advance, it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.

Notes
Jalapeño Simple Syrup Ingredients & Substitutions
- Water - Room temperature tap water works great in this recipe.
- Granulated Sugar - I like using granulated sugar because it's what I usually have on hand, but you can also use extra fine sugar or caster sugar.
- Fresh Jalapeños - Use fresh jalapeños in this recipe! They're what give this syrup all its spice. You can use 2 habanero peppers in place of the jalapeños if needed.
