  • small saucepan optional

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Note 1

Notes

Note 1: This maple syrup recipe is moderately spicy. You can customize the heat level. If you want less heat, reduce the cayenne. For more heat, add ¼ teaspoon more. 
Note 2: You don't have to heat the maple syrup. It helps infuse it with the heat from the cayenne. You can skip this step and just mix the two together if you prefer.
