Discussion:
Why does chilli burn your mouth?
Chilli burns your mouth from capsaicin which is a which is a oil based molecule. The temperature is what triggers the heat in your mouth. Milk is what mostly helps the burn go away. Water and soda doesn't really help you.
Why did the milk reduce the burn?
Milk is known as a solution to help the burn from the chilli. Capsaicin is a burning fat, milk fat helps the burn desolve from the chilli. Milk contain a protein called caesin that helps break down the spice.
