Chili Peppa' Watah

So we just got back from Hawaii and my father in law is a really good cook, one of the really good things he makes is Chili Pepper Water. This is a staple in Hawaii and I have recently got the spicy bug, so figured I would give it a shot on making my own.

The only problem I had was actually getting the Hawaiian Chili Peppers. I smuggled up some seeds from HI, but then read online that you need bee's to actually pollinate the plant to make it have peppers...kinda hard to have bee's when the plan was to grow the thing in inside year round (love WA).

What to do? Substitute with Thai Chili Peppers. These are slightly hotter than Hawaiian Chili Peppers, but figured it would be good to try, so here is the result...



I ended up making two spaghetti bottles worth and being that you use a couple drops at a time, I have like a year supply.
