Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 habanero peppers
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Instruction
- Slice off the habanero stems and cut the habanero straight down the middle. Keep the seeds and membrane intact or remove them for a less intense heat.
- Pour the water into a pan and heat to high.
- When water is hot but not yet boiling, add the sugar into the water and stir to combine until the water turns from murky to clear.
- Add in the habanero halves and bring the sugar water mix to a fast boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. During this time, the sugar water will thicken slightly and it may take on a tinge of color (from the habaneros).
- Remove the sugar-water from the heat, and let it cool for 30 to 45 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
- Remove the habanero pepper pieces, along with any seeds that may have dislodged during the simmering.
- Pour the simple syrup into a sealable container and refrigerate.
