Fill a quart-sized spray bottle with lukewarm water. Add 2 tablespoons of dish detergent. Do NOT shake that up. Just give it a little swish to get the detergent diluted into the water (obviously, put the water in first or you'll end up with a bottle full of suds).

Spray generously on affected areas. The aphids should drop off within minutes and die.
