How to Infuse Tequila with Jalapeños

To infuse tequila with jalapenos, you will need the following ingredients:

• Tequila
• Fresh jalapenos
• A jar or container with a tight-fitting lid
• The process is as follows:

Wash and slice the jalapenos into thin rounds, removing the seeds if you want less spice. Place the jalapeno slices in the jar and add the tequila. Close the jar and let the infusion rest for a few days, shaking the jar once a day. The longer you infuse the tequila, the spicier and more jalapeno-flavored it will be.

When you have reached the desired level of spice and flavor, remove the jalapenos and strain the tequila through a fine-mesh cloth strainer or filter paper to remove any seeds or pieces of jalapeno. Serve the jalapeno-infused tequila over ice and enjoy as desired.

Note: If you want to add some additional flavor to the infusion, you can add some fresh cilantro or coriander leaves to the jar along with the jalapenos. Enjoy!

Whether you’re making a Spicy Paloma or just want to spice up your life, we’ve got the answer.

The secret to making a great one is to prepare your jalapeños as follows:

1. To prepare your pigeon spicy jalapeños, you’ll need to wash them first. Then cut them in half lengthwise and remove the stems.
2. Place jalapeños in a small bowl and add 2 teaspoons water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. Mix well to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, place jalapeño slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat dry with additional paper towels.
3. Once you’ve dried your peppers, you can use them in any recipe that calls for jalapeño slices. The flavor will be milder, but the heat will still be there!
