4-8dried 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.
