Cool Your Mouth From Spicy Acidic Foods
Just as adding acid can soften a dish that is too spicy , you can also calm your mouth after eating very spicy foods by eating something sour. Choosing Thai or Texo-Mexican? Probably, there is already a lemon or lime on the table.
Make no mistake, milk or other dairy products are definitely your best bet. However, especially when eating out, you may not have these common remedies on hand. As mentioned in the video above, chances are there is something already on the table or served with your dish, like citrus fruits, something with vinegar, or even a bag of sugar to fight the heat instead.
