Too much pepper?

I am finishing day one and I am not looking forward to day 2. I am a big guy(320lbs, 6'2) I figured I would need about 10 servings of this drink, which would be 100 ouces, right?, So, I mixed 20 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup, 5 whole organic lemmons(in the juicer)and 1 full teaspoon of cuyon pepper and filled it to 100 ounces of water(or less due to the other ingrediants besides the water) I shook the 100 ounce bottle and poured a glass and burned my mouth due to the pepper. Is it supposed to be this strong? Will this fast work if I use a lot less pepper? I would appreciate any help or advice.
