How to Make Cannabis Hot Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp salt.
- 5-6 fresh hot peppers (habanero, jalapeƱo, serrano, or a mix).
- 1 bell pepper (for balance).
- 1/2 cup white vinegar.
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced.
- 1/2 small onion, chopped.
- 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional).
- 1-2 tsp cannabis-infused oil.
Tools:
- Gloves.
- Knife and cutting board.
- Medium saucepan.
- Wooden spoon.
- Blender or food processor.
- Fine mesh sieve.
- Airtight glass bottle.
Instructions:
1. Prep the peppers: First things first, grab some gloves ’cause these peppers pack a punch! Cut off the tops and, if you want it milder, take out some or all of the seeds. Chop up the peppers, onion, and garlic.
2. Simmer down: Heat some oil in a pan, then toss in the onion, garlic, and peppers. Cook ’em till they’re soft and smell amazing, about five minutes. Now, pour in the vinegar, lime juice, honey, and salt. Stir it all up and let it simmer for ten minutes to let the flavors mingle.
3. Blend It up: Carefully pour this mix into a blender and whiz it till it’s smooth. If you like it thinner, add a bit more vinegar or water.
4. Add the magic: Let it cool down a bit, then stir in your cannabis oil or tincture. Blend it again to make sure it’s all mixed in good.
5. Strain and store: If you want a super smooth sauce, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of any bits. Pour it into a clean glass bottle or jar.
6. Let it chill: For the best flavor, let it sit in the fridge for at least a day. This helps the flavors come together. Keep it in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks and enjoy!
