A Rough Guide To Making Chilli Vodka
This is a rough guide to creating Chilli Vodka - please read my guidance notes in my blog post to achieve your perfect blend.
Typically the infusion takes between 3-6 hours, depending how spicy you want your vodka to be.
Servings: 250 ml/ 1 cup
Ingredients
- 250ml (1 cup) Quality vodka
- 1 Red Birds Eye chilli
Instructions
- Put the vodka into a wide-necked screwtop jar
- Slit the chilli lengthways and add to the vodka
- Seal, shake gently and leave to infuse for 1 hour
- Dip a teaspoon into the vodka, remove and taste
- IF IT IS AT A HEAT LEVEL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH STOP HERE - STRAIN THROUGH A SIEVE TO REMOVE THE CHILLI AND SEEDS AND POUR INTO A BOTTLE
- Otherwise infuse for a further hour, test again, and continue in this way until the desired heat level is achieved (I like a 3 hour infusion, but tastes vary - please read my guidance notes in my blog post to achieve your perfect blend)
- Once the desired spice level is achieved, remove all of the chilli and it's seeds and decant into a bottle
- CLEARY label the bottle - helps avoid accidental use
