  1. Clean and dry the ghost peppers. Wearing gloves, remove the stems and slice in half lengthwise.

  3. Crush the dried ghost peppers in a mortar and pestle, or add them to a spice grinder and grind them to a powder.
  4. Sift the powder and process the remaining chunks until only a fine powder remains.
  5. Store in airtight containers.
