*Vanilla Green Chili-infused Simple Syrup
This recipe makes 1 cup of simple syrup. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 stick of green chili pepper chopped
Method: Combine all ingredients into a saute pan and bring to a boil. Once the mixture begins to boil, lower it to a gentle boil to allow the syrup to reduce and become more concentrated for approximately 20 minutes. Strain out all vanilla extract and green chili peppers. Allow the syrup to cool before using.
