Make the Arbol Chile Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 pieces of arbol chiles. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Once dissolved, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Strain the syrup to remove the chiles and set aside.
