Show Topics:

Hot Pepper Spray
To make hot pepper spray, simply puree two large cayenne peppers in a blender or food processor. Strain the puree to remove any seeds or solids. Add the strained puree to 1 gallon of water. When you are ready to spray, dilute quarter cup of the hot pepper concentrate with 1 gallon of water. To help the spray adhere to leaves, also add about 1/4 tablespoon of dishwashing soap to the mixture. When working with hot peppers it is important to wear gloves and keep your hands away from your face and eyes.
