Subject: RE: [CH] Peppers in vodka
The most important in making pepper vodka is ageing.
My experience is 3 months - no less.
After 3 months the heat has settled and the flavors of the peppers appear.
A friend and I once tasted a habanero pepper vodka after 14 days - WOOUV!
We were very silent for a couple of minutes. Gasping for air.
It was all heat and no taste.
After 3 months, it was a strong healthy vodka with a beautiful habanero
flavor.
And after 3 months submerged in vodka, it doesnt matter whether you cut the
peppers in half or not.
They still look like something straight out of "Alien 3".
Sweet Sherry is as good and with aging tastes abit like scotch. habanero
is the only one to use
