• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

For cocktails:

• Herbal syrup
• Juice of two limes

Preparation:

1. Prepare the syrup: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the stove and let the syrup cool completely.
2. Add mint and cilantro to the cooled syrup and mix with a hand blender until puree-like, strain.
3. Decorate the glasses: Rub the rims of four short glasses with jalapeño pepper and lime. Dip the rims first in salt, then in sugar. Fill the glasses with ice.
