Re: tintures

Of course the haberno and cayenne are two different

fruits from two different plants. I'm just wondering

if the extra heat from the haberno would help the

cayenne effect.

On this list people will probably tell you the hotter the better ;-). I often make my cayenne tincture with a variety of hot peppers. They are all compatible, and as long as you can take the heat, it's fine.

maybe we should call it "capsicum tincture".... lolMorningGlory113@... wrote:

I'm not sure I'm following this... habs are cayenne...I don't think everyone sees it that way, Suzi. I was telling a friend how to make cayenne tincture and he kept asking if he could use habs. I told him I used habs and he then started asking "then why do you call it cayenne tincture if you're using habaneros"? LOL! We went back and forth on that one everytime the subject came up. I think maybe there is a difference ????? The habs are often those really hot little round yellow ones and people usually think of

cayenne as those longish skinny red ones.

That's how I identify them. I have grown both and they are definetly two different peppers. Both hot, but still different.

It's been my experience when talking about peppers (my second favourite subject. Myself being the first), that many people, professional and layperson, use the word "cayenne" as a generic form for "hot pepper". And some consider a certain type of red chili pepper to be a specific cayenne pepper.

I perfer the generic usage myself, and as most know, I mean the hottest mother I can find!!

If memory serves me correctly (why should it start now???), the heat ingredient in the pepper, the capsicum (sp?) is what does the trick. So I always use the peppers with the highest rating that I can find. Most of the time it is habs.

That is what I was thinking, but I wanted to ask the

forum because I think highly of the advise given here.

Thanks

Hi Beth,

I have been doing some tincture on green tea, ginger, cardamon. Try to

check the previous conversations on tinctures. There are many comments

on tintures because we have been talking about it for a while.

My green tea tincture didn't work, it doesn't smell tea! But the

lavender, vanilla beans, ginger, etc smell great!

Hope it helps! There are lots of professional people here who will

give more information. I am just a beginner but love doing experiments.
