Hawaiian chili pepper water is an incredibly popular, traditional Hawaiian condiment or hot sauce made with water, vinegar, and spicy chili peppers. Here is the recipe to make some at home.

Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water - Recipe

water

white vinegar

Hawaiian rock sea salt

Hawaiian chili peppers (sliced (add anywhere from 3-20,

garlic (sliced)

ginger

soy sauce

Add the ingredients to a small pan and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat immediately and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, cool, then transfer to a sterilized bottle. Use as needed. The longer it sits, the more the peppers and other flavors will infuse the water/vinegar mixture.

I grew Hawaiian chiles the last few years, and I have a couple bottles of this chile water in my fridge. Great on greens or in soup.

I used thai chilli peppers since the originals dies nit exist invthe mainland snd it came out super!

what kind of peppers did you use in the photo?

Suzanne, what a great idea for blending the vegetables to make a second condiment. I’ll be using your idea soon.

Fantastic recipe! 
I enjoyed it the first time making this and now writing as this year’s batch is cooling down before bottling (the local farmer didn’t have a good crop last year). Learning from past mistakes the windows were now open and fans were on high (my enthusiasm the first time I forgot about that-very important).
Today I used two Carolinas and two Scorpions while tripling the recipe.
What a great website!

Hi Mike! I have a question about this recipe if you don’t mind. My Hawaiian chili pepper bush and lilikoi - passion fruit- vine are about to be loaded. If I put lilikoi in the recipe, would the shelf life change at all? How would I do it so that it would still last a year?

Thank you so much!

Mahalo, Julia

Brought back childhood memories because we ate that with bananas, taro’s meats, etc. and loved it
Even my kids when they were little had a taste of it.

Kevin, thank you so much for the details.  The info you've provided fills in gaps I didn't even know I had!  Can't wait to try this recipe taking advantage of your insights.

Spectacular! So good that routinely I drink this elixir by small glass. The best non-alcoholic bracer I’ve tried. I’ve had to use various types of chiles, however, as Hawaiian Red Chiles are next to impossible to source.
