Hot Pepper Infusion

Garnish

Method

Hot Pepper Infusion

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Wash the Jeptha Creed hot peppers thoroughly under cold water. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise while wearing gloves to avoid skin irritation.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Vodka

    In a clean glass jar, combine the sliced hot peppers, peeled garlic cloves, and honey. Pour the vodka over the ingredients until they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

  3. 3

    Let it Infuse

    Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking it gently every couple of days to mix the ingredients. The longer it infuses, the spicier it will become.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    After 7 days, strain the infused vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Add fresh lime juice to the infused vodka and mix well.

Garnish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water and chop it coarsely. Cut the lime into wedges.
