Instructions

  1. Slice the chili peppers in half and add them to the bottle of alcohol. Be sure they float down beneath the alcohol and are not exposed to the air. Screw on the cap.
  2. Alternatively, you can add the peppers to a jar and pour the alcohol over them.
  3. Let the peppers steep in the alcohol for 2 days. You can steep them for anywhere from 2 hours to several weeks or longer.
  4. Test the alcohol at intervals until you achieve the level of flavor and infusion you would like.
  5. Strain out the peppers and enjoy.

Notes

  • Chili pepper infused alcohol will last as long as any non-infused alcohol with this method.
