specialty hot sauces might also be up your alley. Look for something with Ghost Pepper, Scotch Bonnet or even some Naga Bhut Joloka if you're really looking to be hardcore.

a quick PSA to any poor college-yobbers who are looking for a cool gift to make mom super happy :)



spicy olive oil bottles are an easy, cost-effective way of putting a lot of thought into a gift for someone special! you can stick to simple blends like just sticking in some basil/oregano, or go crazy with all sorts of hot-peppers and other assortments.

Fantastic to cook with, as a topping on pizza or anything else you might need! keep it in mind! :coolspot:

yeah you can use them as some pretty nifty kitchen decorations, and they'll only get more flavorful with time so there's no rush to use it all quickly.

edit: I forgot to mention that you should let it steep for at least two weeks before using! :)
If you use monosaturated oils, those perish pretty quickly so be careful!

Edit edit: I also just read somewhere that you should take out garlic cloves within a few days, leaving them in can lead to botulism. Very unbyob.

I feel so bad about this I will personally taste test any oil infusion you guys make before giving it to your loved ones. I'll even post a not-so condescending review as I potentially lay quarantined on my deathbed, forced to type using a plastic apparatus with my teeth.
