How to Infuse Vodka With Jalapenos

* 1 bottle (750 ml) of vodka

* 2-3 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced

_Optional_:

* 1 tablespoon of sugar

* 1 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

1. Wash the jalapeño peppers and remove the seeds. Slice them into thin rings.

2. Add the jalapeño peppers and sugar to a clean, sterilized jar.

3. Pour the vodka into the jar and seal the lid tightly.

4. Shake the jar vigorously and then store it in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days.

5. After 3-5 days, strain the vodka through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a clean bottle.

6. Discard the jalapeño peppers and sugar.

7. Seal the vodka and store it in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy.

_Tips_:

- For a milder flavor, use fewer jalapeño peppers.

- For a more intense flavor, use more jalapeño peppers and let the vodka steep for longer.

- You can add sugar and lime for sweeter/citrusy infusions.
