- Saute the garlic and the chipotle powder about 3 minutes or until garlic is softened.
- Add the half and half and bring to a simmer, stirring.
- Stir in cilantro, salt, pepper and sugar.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, until mixture has reduced by about one third and thickened slightly.
