Nice brew Tropicrows
many years ago a mate owned Toko Baru in cairns, this chick come in and said she would tip $50 if he could make a chilli dish she couldn't eat
so we took in a bottle of split birdseyes soaked in pickled onion juice and left in a dark cupboard for a couple of months
she tried it with desert spoon full when she could finally talk again she pulled out a folding 50 and left
she came back the next Friday night and never mentioned hot chilli again
we use it the same way you do ..a few drops at a time
Cheers
