- Drizzled over eggs

To use, carefully dispense a small amount of the hot sauce directly onto your food or into your cooking. Start with a tiny drop and taste, adding more as desired to reach your preferred level of heat. It can be stirred into sauces, chilis, or stews during the cooking process to infuse them with spice. It’s also excellent as a finishing touch, adding a vibrant kick right before serving.

How to keep the rest
After opening, it is best to store the remaining hot sauce in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or refrigerator, to maintain its potency and flavor. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination. This will help preserve its quality for future use.
