*To sterilise glass jars, wash in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Dry in the oven for 15-20 mins at gas 1, 140°C, fan 120°C until hot and completely dry. Boil metal lids and rubber seals for 10 mins, then leave to dry.
Tip
The hotter the chilli, the spicier the drink will be so it’s worth tasting the chilli before adding it to check you’re happy with its heat.
