Quickie...Re: C is for Cayenne Tincture~!


I know someone who knew someone that made a tincture using Ghost Peppers (and estimated the tincture to be around 700,000 HU). The person that tried it said something along the lines of: "it fried my mouth/throat, and I wasn't able to eat ingest anything but juice for days". And this person was VERY used to Schulzes tincture/powder and mine (which is hotter than Schulzes).

I've got a bag of dried Ghost Pepper powder, and I'd been thinking about making a tincture that would be named Cayenne #4, but after sampling Cayenne #3 (3/4 dried Habanero Powder 1/4 dried African Bird Pepper)...and finding it hotter than what we would ever choose to utilize (and couldn't imagine a 'cayenne newbie' using), we decided not to make it. At least :::wink wink::: we've decided not to make it 'for now'.

What was posted that I'd said before (that I wouldn't dream of using Ghost Peppers unless I was EXTREMELY comfortable ingesting a teaspoon of our typical Cayenne Powder) is still what I think to be correct.

The logical test? Eat one raw (or half of one), and then know that when it dries, it will become exponentially hotter than when it was raw. If you can handle a raw one, then you could handle the tincture made using raw ones...but I doubt there's anybody but the most hard-core "pepper head" that could ever handle a dried powder (or tincture made from the dried peppers).

Burn ON! :)
