How To Make Chili Vodka

So now, we're going to make chilli infused vodka. All you need for this is a bottle of vodka, some chillies and a knife. Now, there's loads of strength chilli vodka you can make.

I've gone for a bird's eye chilli here and what I'm going to do is just slice along the chilli. Keep making sure that the seeds all remain in the chilli but what we're looking to do is to get all that spice from inside the chilli infused into the vodka. Now, we're going to drop the chillies and strain the vodka.

You might need to take a little bit of our vodka out. You can drink it at a later stage if you wish and then stick the chilli straight into the vodka. Again, you can leave this in a cool dry place for about 5 days and the chillies will start to infuse into the vodka.

At that point, you'll taste how spicy the vodka is. You can either choose to leave the vodka chillies in there and you'll get a spicier vodka or you can take them out at this stage. The chillies will generally stay preserved within the vodka because of the alcohol content so you can leave them in there as long as you want.

There will become a saturation point where the vodka cannot become any stronger. So, if you wish to try a very strong chilli vodka, you can leave them in there. So, that's how we make chilli infused vodka. .
