This started as an experiment to create a new Sichuan Cocktail. The resulting sweet hot syrup turned out to make an excellent compliment to chocolate ice cream. With a few Sichuan peppercorns sprinkled on top you can get that Hot/Numbing flavor of Sichuan combined with the Aztec Chocolate/Chili flavor.
It’s real easy if you know how to make a simple syrup. The real trick is finding good Sichuan Peppercorns. They can vary in potency. Good ones give a floral and numbing sensation with just a few peppercorns. Bad ones need an entire teaspoon for the same effect.

- 1-2 Brownies or Slice of Chocolate Pound Cake per serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Take the syrup off the heat and let it cool and steep. Once completely cool, strain the chili flakes and keep for later use.
