Remove the Heat of a Pepper (not simply de-seeding!)

Step 5 Add the fun juice!

The alcohol will easily dissolve the capsaicin off of the surface, and should flush most of it off with a rinse of more alcohol.

I chose tequila since this is a chili pepper... and they just go with tequila so well.


Pour whatever hard beverage you chose onto the pepper, and rub it in just as you did with the olive oil.

Afterwards, rinse with another dash of alcohol, and leave to dry.
For any pepper under 100,000 SHU, this should have been enough to remove any trace of heat.

However, habaneros and above are some kind of special. next step will explain.

haha! no, i used moctezuma to test the method. But I used maybe 2 jiggers of patron for a final sample to keep. Moctezuma is just plain nasty...
