Cooking Thai peppers in simple syrup gives you a sweet and spicy flavour booster that can be added to savoury dishes as well as desserts. Try sprinkling some onto stir-fries or pizza, or using them to coat cheese balls. Or, for an unexpected kick, mix them into chocolate cake batter or a curd for lemon squares. Use the reserved syrup to spice up homemade cocktails.
