Instructions
Add the cayenne peppers, white vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, and water into a medium saucepan.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the pepper solids left behind.
