  • Customize the heat gradually by adding hot sauce and cayenne pepper a little at a time.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice for perfect texture.
  • Allowing the sauce to chill enhances and harmonizes the flavors.
  • Use Creole or Dijon mustard for authentic, complex flavor.
