Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water - Recipe
Description
This recipe involves combining water, white vinegar, sea salt, sliced Hawaiian chili peppers, garlic slices, and fresh ginger in a pan, then bringing the mixture to a quick boil before reducing the heat and simmering for five minutes. After heating, the mixture is cooled and transferred to a sterilized bottle to infuse further. The longer it rests, the more the flavors and heat from the peppers and aromatics develop into the liquid.
Optional additions such as a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce can add umami complexity. The result is a versatile spicy condiment with a medium heat level that can be used to enhance many dishes with a zesty kick.
The chili pepper water can be stored refrigerated for up to a year, making it a long-lasting addition for flavoring foods.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces water
- 2 ounces white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt you can sub in any sea salt or kosher salt, Hawaiian rock
- Hawaiian chili pepper sliced (add anywhere from 3-20, or as many as you can fit - you CAN sub in other spicy chili peppers)

Instructions

- The heat level is medium; adjust the number of chili peppers used according to desired spiciness.
