Ingredients
– 16 ounces (approximately 473 ml) alcohol for base to absorb chili’s essence
– 3 medium-sized chili peppers for core spicy notes
– 1 teaspoon black peppercorns for subtle peppery warmth
– 1 tablespoon sugar for balancing heat
Instructions
1-First, prepare your workspace by gathering 16 ounces of alcohol and 3 medium-sized chili peppers. Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly to ensure they’re clean.
2-Second, slice or pierce the chili peppers to increase surface area, which speeds up flavor extraction.
3-Third, place the chili slices into a clean glass jar and pour the alcohol over them, making sure everything is submerged.
4-Fourth, seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake gently every day and taste periodically to check the heat level.
5-Fifth, once the desired intensity is reached, strain out the chili peppers using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove solids.
6-Finally, transfer the infused alcohol to a sealed container for storage and use it in cocktails or recipes.

🌶️ For faster infusion, slice the peppers thinly or roughly chop them to increase surface area and speed up flavor extraction
🧊 Store the infused alcohol in a cool, dark place and always strain out the peppers to prevent contamination and extend shelf life
🔥 Start with fewer peppers than you think you need – you can always add more heat, but you can’t easily remove it once infused
