Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeño Simple Syrup
  1. In a medium saucepan, measure and pour 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, bringing it to a rolling boil in about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Once boiling, carefully add ⅓ cup of sliced jalapeño peppers to the saucepan. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. After simmering, remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl or mason jar.
  4. Allow the syrup to cool completely at room temperature for about 20 minutes before refrigerating in an airtight container.
