An infusion of this herb can be made by using -1 teaspoon of cayenne powder mixed in 1 cup boiling water and allow to steep for ten minutes. Then take 1 tablespoon of this infusion and mix in 1 cup hot water and drink as needed. As mentioned above, start with a more dilute infusion in order to avoid any side effects. Dosage should be discussed with a trained herbalist or your physician. Cayenne is also available in capsules.
