How to make sauce hotter???

H

Hothotsauce

I just made a nice sauce with pineapples peaches vinegar water and habaneros. For 40 ounces total liquid by volume I used 6 orange habaneros. I thought this would be spicy (comes down to .75 habaneros per 5 oz woozie.) but it really is just a mild-medium sauce. There is some heat at the end of you use a lot, its more like a spicy sauce than a hot sauce. The flavor is spot on. How do I make this hotter without adjusting other ingredients? I thought maybe double the habaneros (1.5 per 5 ounce woozie) or mix in X (fill in the blank) teaspoons of ghost pepper powder? Add some red jalapenos? Thank you. I want it hot but not stupid hot and still focusing on flavor not just insane heat.

Not hard to understand. Salt is perceived by taste buds which can be sensitized by capsaicin, meanwhile capsaicin is perceived by pain receptors that are not sensitized by salt. Spicy can make things seem saltier, salty no make things spicier. Science; it is your friend.
