Erik, Try adding it to taste to begin with!! A teensy sprinkle in each glass is enough on the first day! Really, start small and build up. I did - I am just finishing a 21 day Master-Cleanse and I found I really got to like the cayenne. You will develop a tolerance for it. You only need to add enough so you can tell it is there - not drive your tongue and butt crazy!
Best,
