How do you make a habanero pepper not spicy?

You can't actually make a habanero pepper *not* spicy. The heat in peppers comes from a chemical compound called capsaicin, which is embedded within the pepper's cells.

However, you can reduce the perceived spiciness in a few ways:

* Remove the seeds and membranes: The seeds and membranes contain the highest concentration of capsaicin. Removing them can significantly reduce the heat.

* Cook the peppers: Cooking can break down some of the capsaicin molecules, making the peppers less spicy.

* Use a recipe that dilutes the pepper's heat: For example, you could add the habanero to a dish with other ingredients that have a strong flavor or make a large batch of salsa.

* Add milk or dairy: Milk and dairy products contain a protein called casein that binds to capsaicin, reducing the burning sensation on your tongue.

* Use a sweetener: Sugar and other sweeteners can help to mask the spiciness of the pepper.

* Drink plenty of water: Water helps to flush out the capsaicin from your mouth and stomach.

Important Note: The spiciness of habaneros varies depending on the variety and growing conditions. Some may be significantly hotter than others. It's always best to start with a small amount and taste as you go!
