*Habañero peppers, also known as Scotch Bonnets, are one of the hottest peppers in the world. If you prefer a milder kick of heat, use jalapeño peppers instead, or use other much tamer peppers of your liking.
**To prevent a serious chemical burn on your hands that will literally last for hours, always use plastic gloves when preparing raw hot chile peppers (which contain capsaicin, the main ingredient in pepper spray). This safety tip is especially important when preparing a large quantity...and do keep your hands AWAY from your face, especially no rubbing the eyes or chapped lips!
