How to Cool Your Mouth Off After Eating Spicy Food
We've all been there. We eat something that we think we can handle, and then all of a sudden our mouth is absolutely on fire. How do you deal with it? Well, we've got the answer here for you.
The best thing to do is to actually reach for a glass of dairy. Milk is a great option, but a yogurt drink can work too. Dairy products can actually neutralize the compound that makes spicy food spicy. If you aren't a fan of milk or you just don't have any dairy on hand, something acidic can do the trick, too. A glass of orange juice is a great bet here. Something acidic will help neutralize your mouth and return it back to base.
One thing you absolutely don't want to do is chug a glass of water! What makes spicy food spicy is oil-based; as such, water won't have any effect on it. In fact, it can actually make the heat in your mouth worse by spreading the spice further around. Even though you may think you're doing yourself a favor by grabbing a glass of water, you really aren't. Stick to the dairy or the acid.
If all else fails, you'll just have to wait it out. Your mouth should cool down after several minutes. Always remember to acknowledge and respect your own heat tolerance, and never push yourself too far out of your comfort zone!
