Starbucks Sriracha Sauce Copycat Recipe

Kai Jordan

Equipment

  • A knife
  • Chopping board
  • Blender
  • Glass jar/container
  • Plastic wrap
  • strainer
  • Saucepan
  • A funnel
  • A bottle or container with a cork or seal.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ a kilogram of red jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 0.25 kilogram of red Serrano peppers
  • ½ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Throw the peppers (Jalapeno and Serrano), salt, sugar and garlic into a blender; add water. Blend the ingredients until smooth.
  • Transfer the blended puree into a glass jar or a container. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place it in a cool and dry place for three to five days. Stir the blend and scrap down the sides of the container every day. Rewrap after every stirring session, and return the jar to a cool and dry place. Wait until the mixture becomes bubbly.
  • Pour the blend back into your blender. Add the white vinegar and blend the mixture until smooth. Strain the mixture with a strainer with a fine mesh. Discard the seeds, skin and pulp left after straining.
  • Transfer the smooth sauce into another saucepan. Boil it over medium heat, and remember to stir the mixture regularly until it reaches the desired thickness.
  • Let the boiling sauce cool slowly to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools. After it cools to the desired temperature, transfer it into a bottle or a jar, seal it tightly, and then place it in a refrigerator.

Notes

  • Do not let the sauce boil for long because it might become too thick when it cools to room temperature.
  • Use more jalapenos if you want a spicier sauce.
  • Remember to store the sauce in a tightly sealed bottle or jar.
