Method

  • step 1

    Slice the chillies and mix with the vodka in a large bottle or jug. Leave for 4-5 hrs. Strain out the chillies and pour back into a bottle to store until needed. Just before giving away, decant into smaller glass bottles, pop a whole chilli in each and label.

I prefer to add some other hottest pepper from this list.

Can I ask why my comment isn't visible?

This is great - though obviously depends on the type quantity of chillies you use. I wanted something with quite a kick for someone who has extreme chilli tolerance levels I used 4 Thai chillies, sliced lengthways down the centre, to a litre of vodka. The heat and a nice chilli flavour was apparent…

Made this last Christmas as a gift for various friends. Unfortunately the vodka was ridiculously spicy even though I had it marinating for less time than stated and was only in the cupboard a week before gifting. I used green chillies instead of red, though they weren't very hot ones... I'm not sure…

Made this last year for presents for a couple of friends that are chilli mad! They both loved it! However, one friend commented it does get hotter with time (over months, not days!)... don't know if this is due to the whole chilli in the bottle or whether that just happens anyway. Will be making…

Does anyone know if you can do this with green instead of red chillies? Will it affect the flavour? I have red to pop in the bottles to decorate but my local tesco only had mixed bags of chillies so I have a load of green to use up, and I'd like to use them for this.
