Infusions
Halve the jalapeños lengthwise, then scrape the seeds and membranes into a container. Add the flesh of 2 of the jalapeños (reserve the flesh of the other 2 for another use). Add the vodka and stir to combine. Let stand at room temperature for up to 20 minutes, tasting often to monitor the heat level. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth, then funnel back into the vodka bottle and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month.
