Recipe - Phils Chile Mouthwash And Throat Spray

1 tablespoon Vodka
1/16 teaspoon Habanero powder
3 tablespoon Water

I my earlier post today I failed to mention that I filtered the diluted
solution prior to using it. I made a filter paper cone by folding a 6" X 6"
piece of a paper towel and inserted it into a kitchen funnel. This resulted
in an amber colored liquid free of visible particles. I wanted to avoid the
tickle of powder residue stuck to the back of my throat after using the
gargle method. The particles in an unfiltered solution would probably clog
the sprayer also. Here is the recipe with complete method:

Place the Hab powder in the bottom of a small glass and add vodka. Cover
the glass and let it rest for about an hour during which time a deep amber
color will develop. (My Hab powder is reddish brown.) Add the water to
dilute. Filter to remove chile powder particles. It is now ready to use.
Yields 2 oz.
