Thai Pepper Infused Tequila

Makes 750ml.

Ingredients:

750 milliliters 100% blue agave blanco tequila, such as Partida Blanco or Patr?n Silver
8 dried red thai bird’s eye chili peppers

Cut or rip open height-wise the thai chile peppers. Remove all of the seeds.

Dried Thai Bird’s Eye Chili Peppers

We will perform the infusion in the tequila’s own bottle. If needed, pour out enough of the tequila to make room for the chile peppers. Add the chili peppers. Seal the bottle. Store in a cool, dark place for 3 days, gently shaking the bottle once per day.

At the end of the third day, strain the tequila through double layers of cheese cloth into a second container. Clean and dry the tequila bottle. Return the infused tequila to the original bottle. Will keep in a cool, dark place indefinitely.
