I my earlier post today I failed to mention that I filtered the diluted
solution prior to using it. I made a filter paper cone by folding a 6" X
6" piece of a paper towel and inserted it into a kitchen funnel. This
resulted in an amber colored liquid free of visible particles. I wanted to
avoid the tickle of powder residue stuck to the back of my throat after
using the gargle method. The particles in an unfiltered solution would
probably clog the sprayer also. Here is the recipe with complete method:
Phil's Chile Mouthwash & Throat Spray
Ingredients
1 TBS. vodka
1/16 tsp. Habanero powder
3 TBS. Water
Method
Place the Hab powder in the bottom of a small glass and add vodka. Cover
the glass and let it rest for about an hour during which time a deep amber
color will develop. (My Hab powder is reddish brown.) Add the water to
dilute. Filter to remove chile powder particles. It is now ready to use.
Yields 2 oz.
