How To – Chilli Infused Tequila

– Slit red-eye chillies in half lengthwise or chop finely for greater heat.
– Place in the tequila bottle for 24 hours. The longer it infuses, the hotter it will get!
– Strain them once happy with the heat level!

How To – Homemade Pineapple Juice

– Make simple syrup. Boil water and add sugar to it. Stir until diluted. Ratio 1:1
– Dice a pineapple. (Can also use canned pineapple)
– Fill ¾ of the blender with diced pineapple. Add 70ml of homemade simple syrup and top up with water.
– Blend for 1 minute and strain
