Plastic 1/2-gallon bottle

shake well.
Step 3
Put the half-gallon container out in the sun to ferment for five days. After that, bring it inside the house.
Step 4
Add 1/4-cup white or red vinegar to the chili-and-water mixture. Shake it well. Now it is ready to use. Pour the mixture into the empty one-pint spray bottle. Put the rest of the chili mixture away in storage.
