- dried chili peppers (on 200 ml oil approx. 3-4 pods)

- Remove stalks from the chili peppers and crush the pods with the flat knife.

- It takes several weeks for the chili peppers to get their sharpness into the oil. To do this, store the chili oil in a dark place.
- Shake chili oil carefully during storage time.
Our tip for those who can not wait for the several weeks of storage:
- Slowly heat olive oil in a pan.
- Add chili peppers, stirring constantly, heat for about 3 minutes (note: chili peppers may burn easily).
- Allow the contents of the pan to cool well.
- Fill chili oil into the glass jar using the funnel.
By heating, the sharpness of the chillies is released more quickly to the oil. The chili oil is ready to use!
