Added too much cayenne to my spice mix, how to fix it?

Question

Added too much cayenne powder to my spice mix, now it’s too hot. What can I do to fix it and tone down the heat?

The mix contains sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, pepper, allspice & cayenne (of which I used twice as much as required).

Just to be absolutely sure: You mean “cayenne” (as in the spice), not “cyan” (as in the blue-green color), right? I edited the post for now, in the unlikely case that I made a mistake, feel free to edit again. — Stephie, Sep 26 at 15:59

The best thing to do is add enough of the others to make it up to double quantity, then use half and save the other half for another time.

@Tetsujin that's the other option, but it did sound like too much for their tastes.
