Indeed, this hot sauce combines the intense heat of chili peppers with the soothing sweetness of CBD, creating a unique taste experience. Therefore, whether to accompany your tacos, burgers, or grilled vegetables, this sauce will offer you an explosion of flavors while allowing you to enjoy the relaxing effects of CBD.

Ingredients for the CBD Spicy Sauce:

  • 2 fresh red chili peppers (or more according to your tolerance)
  • 1 tablespoon of CBD oil
  • 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar (or honey for a sweeter version)
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika (optional)
  • The juice of 1 lemon

Preparation of the Spicy CBD Sauce:

1. Prepare the peppers and garlic:

Start by cutting the chili peppers into small pieces. If you want a less spicy sauce, you can remove the seeds. Then, thinly slice the garlic clove. These two ingredients will provide the spicy and aromatic base for your sauce, giving it a depth of flavor from the very first steps.

For an exotic and sweet touch, adding pineapple to your hot sauce can completely transform the recipe. Pineapple not only brings a tropical sweetness that pleasantly contrasts with the heat of the peppers, but its rich content of vitamins and minerals also offers additional benefits. Incorporate pieces of fresh or canned pineapple after adding the basic ingredients to the pot, and let it simmer to infuse the flavors.

2. Cook the basic ingredients:

At this moment, in a small saucepan, combine the chopped peppers, minced garlic, and crushed tomatoes.

Onion is another ingredient you can incorporate to enrich the aromatic complexity of your sauce. By adding finely chopped onions at the same time as the peppers and garlic, you will bring a natural sweetness that balances the heat of the peppers, while adding a subtle sweet and caramelized note after cooking. Make sure to cook the onion until it is translucent to release all its flavors.

Then add the apple cider vinegar and the coconut sugar. Heat over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes. Don't forget to stir regularly so that the flavors blend well. This step will also allow the sauce to reduce slightly, giving it a perfect texture.

3. Add the remaining ingredients:

Once the sauce has reduced well, you can add the salt, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. The latter will bring a touch of acidity and freshness. This step is crucial to balance the spicy flavors, including those of hot sauces, and sweet ones, while adding a bit of complexity to the sauce. Let it simmer for a few more minutes so the aromas blend perfectly.

For those seeking an even bolder taste experience, why not add a small amount of Carolina Reaper to your sauce? This chili pepper is famous for being one of the hottest in the world, which will bring an extra intensity to your preparation. However, it is essential to use it sparingly and carefully so as not to upset the balance of flavors in your recipe. The Carolina Reaper will add not only extreme heat but also an aromatic complexity unmatched by other peppers.

To add a new dimension to your sauce, consider using grated onion. The onion will add a natural sweetness that pairs well with the spicy and smoky flavor of the sauce, while enhancing the other aromas. It's a simple but effective ingredient to enrich the complexity of your preparation.

4. Incorporate the CBD oil:

When the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat. Then, add the CBD oil. Mix well so that the oil is evenly distributed throughout the sauce. This will allow you to fully enjoy the soothing benefits of CBD while preserving the spicy and aromatic flavor of the sauce. It is important not to cook the CBD oil, as this could alter its beneficial properties.

5. Let cool and store:

Once the sauce has cooled, you can pour it into an airtight jar. You can store it in the refrigerator for one to two weeks. However, be aware that if you used hot peppers, the sauce will become even spicier after a few days of resting, and you can assess its heat level using the Scoville scale. Additionally, this spicy CBD sauce can pair wonderfully with your favorite dishes.

The Benefits of CBD Hot Sauce:

As you probably already know, CBD is recognized for its soothing and anti-stress properties. By adding it to your hot sauce, you benefit from the relaxing effects of cannabidiol while stimulating your taste receptors thanks to the peppers. Therefore, this CBD hot sauce is ideal for those who want to combine culinary pleasure and well-being. Additionally, it will add an original touch to your meals.

Tips for Customizing your CBD Hot Sauce:

  • If you want an even more flavorful sauce, you can add a bit of freshly grated ginger or powdered turmeric.
  • If you prefer a less acidic sauce, replace the apple cider vinegar with sweet balsamic vinegar.
  • For a creamier version, you can add a little plain yogurt or crème fraîche to the sauce.
