Cold & flu tincture

I had some stewing in the fridge from before I left for my trip. Before, I sipped it. Today, I pounded down about 4 ounces of the strained tincture. Feels almost like I took a double shot of alcohol. Glad I ate first.

 

4 Oz after a week marinating? that is a pretty strong dose isn't it?

 

Yeah. But emptied the bottle to clean...

 

After pounding it down instead of sipping, had a big burp after, but no long string go farts. Wonder if that had to do with how I consumed it or that it was soaking for a week.

 

But totally cleaned me out in the morning. I know, TMI. So happy Sunday!

 

Clean is good

 

It is getting to cold and flu season so I am checking to make sure I have what I need. @Hanzo what are Hawaiian chili peppers? Or can you post a picture for ID purposes?

 

Any kind of hot chili pepper should do. Had some sneezing and runny nose last week, so wifee threw the ingredients into a large mason jar and gave it to me to shake. So I shook it while watching tv. You can see the change in the solution before and after shaking. So I ended up shaking it for about an hour. When I poured out a few ounces to sip, I had a huge surprise. Man, it was SPICY HOT. I normally put one, maybe two peppers in there. I asked wifee how many she put, and she said, "A handful." When I told her how spicy it was, her response was, "I hope it doesn't burn on the way out." Sheesh! Fortunately, drinking a few ounces a few times didn't make it burn on the way out. But I could feel it in my gut. If I had vodka, I would have made a dirty spicy martini. Next day, a ok.

Let me know how yours turns out, @Motomom34.

 

@Hanzo do you have a picture of a Hawaiian chili pepper, i love peppers so im curious
