Notes
- Reducing the Heat
- You can reduce the heat by only using 1 habanero chile. You can also remove the stems and seeds which will reduce the heat even more.
- A Word of Caution
- Habanero chiles are very hot. If you touch your mouth or eyes after handling them it will burn. Wash your hands thoroughly after working with chiles. Wearing gloves will help you avoid an uncomfortable situation.
