For all you chileheads that are looking for a knock-you-into-the-next-room, eye-watering, throat-burning sauce, use habaneros or scotch bonnets. |
Let the heat lovers have their scorching habaneros and tongue-twisting jala-penos. |
The beer starts with a lovely juicy mango character on the front of the palate, and then the Habaneros kick in, bringing the heat and searing the taste buds. |
Jalapefios fall into the 3,500-5,000 range of this scale, while habaneros rate 100,000 and higher. |
The habaneros are soaked in vodka for about a week, then the booze is shaken up with the pina and strained. |
If you can't buy these peppers, try growing your own or substitute habaneros. |
