Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Also, it is easy to make your own tincture. Here is a simple recipe given to us by Renee, one of our valued members:Any HOT pepper is fine to use, so just buy the hottest fresh peppers you can find, dry them, powder them and you will have cayenne powder. If you want, you can also make a cayenne tincture. It's very simple. Take the hottest peppers you can find, throw them in a blender, seeds and all, and cover with vodka--or any alcohol you like--and blend. You are looking for a slightly thick mix. Pour this into a glass jar. Cover with more alcohol until there's about a once inch cover over the cayenne slush. Shake this every time you walk by it--don't leave it in sunlight, and try to keep it where it's dark--or at least once a day. In 2 weeks you can strain this and you will have a powerful cayenne tincture. You can put this into any drink, or just take it by mouth straight if you (or he) can tolerate it. You can leave it longer than 2 weeks. I usually leave mine sit for months, just taking off the clear liquid on top as I need it. If you plan on leaving it sit for more than the 2 weeks, you don't have to shake it. It's still good to shake if you want, but I don't bother to shake mine. If I was only going to let it sit 2 weeks I WOULD shake it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
