  • Place a deep bowl under the area where the ground peppers will fall, then start adding a mixture of the garlic, peppers and chopped cilantro into the mill and start cranking. Keep a wooden spoon handy as you may have to press down on everything for it to work through the mill.

  • Since vinegar was used, this pepper sauce can remain on your kitchen counter as the vinegar will act as a preservative. For longer shelf life, you can certainly keep it in the fridge. Enjoy!
