Notes
Nutrition - the nutrition facts are calculated using sugar. If you want this to be sugar-free, low carb, and keto simply sub in your favorite sweetener. That reduces the carbs to less than 0.5 grams per serving.Heat Level - with one jalapeno the heat of this is mild. For more kick add more jalapeno. You can also refrigerate with the jalapeno still in the syrup and strain right before making cocktails to boost the spiciness.
