Combine the white wine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1 tsp kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the sliced jalapeños, and let them sit in the brine for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
