Hi Linda,
Thanks for reading! I don't use hot pepper much either, but it's there when I need it, right in my cabinet. Of course I don't have the liquid that was used for me when I had bronchitis years ago, but I think the pepper would work anyway.
Hope you are staying warm up there and are out of the line of snow that covered my mountains today. My brother still lives there and he said they had about a foot of snow.
