Hi Renee.do you use fresh or dried peppers? And if you use a 2 pounds - how much vodka do you use (and is that 100 proof?).
I've made some myself - but I used dried and definitely not a pound of peppers.but I can always add more :-) Lisa _____ From: Renee [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 12:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Resipe Tincture of Cayenne is made with Ever-Clear Grain Alcohol Hey Tel. I follow Dr. Schulze's method of both making and using the cayenne tincture. He's stopped plenty of strokes and heart attacks as a doctor, and he uses 2 to 3 droppers of tincture or a tablespoon of powder in a small amount of water. Cayenne may feel like it is burning, but it does NO damage. Dr. Schulze has had cayenne powder blow directly into his eyes, without any damage, and so upped the amount of cayenne used in his eye formulas. I made my super strong habannero pepper tincture, and after an accident while straining it, the tincture ran over both hands for about 5 minutes while I was holding the bag it was straining through. My hands burned like fire for 3 days. The pain was so bad it would wake me up at night that first night. BUT--there was ZERO skin damage. You are making people afraid where there is no need for fear. Cayenne is a life saver, certainly--but it doesn't damage and I was not lucky--I knew exactly what I was doing. I make my tincture with up to 2 pounds of habannero peppers and vodka. I blend them in my blender and let them sit in a glass jar for up to a year before straining. I don't like everclear--I detest the taste, so I use vodka. I also now add a large handful of my wild chili pequin peppers, which are actually hotter than habs (which, outside of 2 new types of peppers are considered the hottest peppers there are) so my tincture is STRONG. I've given plenty away, also. I don't sell it though. I'm not in that business. So, there is no reason to fear the internal or external use of cayenne tincture. Samala, Renee
