Added too much cayenne powder to my spice mix, now it’s too hot. What can I do to fix it and tone down the heat?
The mix contains sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, pepper, allspice & cayenne (of which I used twice as much as required).
The best thing to do is add enough of the others to make it up to double quantity, then use half and save the other half for another time.
When I overdo the “ heat” I add a bit of sweetener as I find it makes your saliva glands more active and that seems to make the heat a little less intense ..I use maple syrup for thee sweetener in my hot sauce.
