Take the peppers you wanna extract, process them (pic related). After this batch I highly recommend spreading the result on baking paper and dry it in the oven around 100°C under air circulation. Open the oven every now and then, they're done when they are slightly brown and sound like dry leafs when pushed around. Put the result in an airtight jar with food-quality Ethanol (90%+). Let it sit for a week, shaking it once a day. The flakes will still have a lot of heat after that, consider drying them and using them as well. (I use Habaneros or peppers in a similar order of magnitude)
