Do you do the lime/lemon for the vitamin C or for other reasons?

I'm sorry to be such a poor information source on this but I take the lime because I read somewhere that you should eat at least one lemon per day for your health, I don't remember where, and I'm very fond of limes but not so much lemons. I hope limes are as beneficial.

My friends gave me a Hawaiian pepper bush that is currently loaded with red peppers but they are blazing hot - makes jalapeno peppers seem mild in comparison. Sometime I need to try to make Hawaiian chili water - I've heard it's good.

I make my own version of pepper water for using in poke, which I'm very fond of. I use a mix of red, green and yellow bell peppers or any other tasty mild peppers and add enough hot peppers to bring it up to your preferred heat level, add water and boil. You should make it fairly hot as the hot will be diluted by the poke you add it to. I like mixing the mild with hot peppers, as I like it mild enough so that I can add enough pepper water to bring out the actual pepper flavor as well as the hot. There is no salt or viniger so don't make more than you can use in a reasonable time.

I'm a firm believer that eating a good amount of spicy hot food will greatly improve many sinus problems.
