So I cooked up my burger and added the envelope of spices, and let it simmer for ten minutes to form a nice thick sauce. Then I dumped it in my mixing bowl, got out my wooden spoon, and gingerly started trying to add Tabasco green.

I dabbed just a teeny bit onto the spoon, and started mixing, then tasted it. Nothing. I dabbed a bit more onto it and did it again. Nothing.

In fact, it took me 6 tries, using increasingly large amounts of the stuff, before I could detect any bite at all when I tasted the meat. When they call the green sauce "mild" they weren't really kidding.

I didn't want the taco meat to be mouth-burningly hot, but I did want to be able to taste a bit of heat, and I think I got that. But I may get a surprise; I've heard that the heat comes out more the longer the hot sauce is mixed with the payload.

Anyway, it's cooling in the frig now and I'll do the ice-cube-tray thing in a couple of hours. Presumably any heat-blooming will be suspended by being frozen.
