I thought you were supposed to use milk.
No, not milk. Something acidic like lemon juice. Capsaicin is Ph basic and acidic foods will help neutralize it. Ask me how I know….
Seems to be conflicting advice on this one. Capsaicin is fat soluble, so the fat in milk will help dissolve it. But the pH thing seems to be legit too. Maybe the best fix would be something that’s both fatty and acidic, like sour cream or full fat yogurt.
