Notes

Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You can play with the heat to your preference by including or not including spicy red chili flakes. If you're looking for hotter, add in some spicy cayenne powder, or get crazy like me and include a bit of ghost pepper powder. I love it!
Store in an airtight container.
