Tomatillo and Jalapeño Juice (makes 1 portion)
▢

1
part lime juice
keep the lime for the glass
Simple Sugar Syrup
▢
200
g
(1 cup) white sugar
▢
125
ml
(½ cup) water
A cocktail shaker would be great, if not, just stir it all up well in a glass/jug.
Instructions
Simple Syrup
Place the water and sugar into a small pan and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 10 minutes on the lowest heat to allow the syrup to thicken.
Leave to cool, no need to place in the fridge, but you can if you like. Will keep in the fridge, covered, for 2 weeks.
Tomatillo and Jalapeño Juice
Place everything into a chopper and chop to a fine paste.
Strain into a clean cup/small jug.
Let's Make the Margarita
Run a lime slice all around the rim of a glass.
Dip the glass rim into the salt and pepper, coating well.
Place everything into a shaker and shake to mix and chill. Start with 1/2 part simple syrup.
Taste and add more syrup if you like it sweeter. I do.
Pour into the glass, minus the ice cubes.
Notes
Total time does not include the making and chilling of the simple syrup.
