Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4-8 dried chili peppers (depending on heat preference and type of chili used) chopped or whole

Instructions
 

  • Combine the water, sugar, and dried chili peppers in a small sauce pan.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Give a quick stir until all of the sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
  • Cool and allow the chili peppers to infuse into the simple syrup for a minimum of 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the peppers and seeds, then transfer to storage container of choice (careful as it may still be hot).
  • Store in the refrigerator in an air tight container for about one month.
