Quinine folks (mistral, elaine, Melissa, MariaD, Richard) the packages were mailed yesterday.

Also, be warned: In the one tall glass bottle with a wire/gasket stopper, the syrup is showing
bubbles.
I bottled five 200 ml bottles with screw top lids and put the remainder in this cute bottle.
The syrup still tastes fine, but I don't know how long it will last. It might be fermenting, for all I know. I thought it would be like my limoncello...bottled and sitting on the shelf for years. But realized there is no alcohol in this to kill things.
Me and Charlie Allnut may still be susceptible to malaria.
But every day I'm doing my Gin & Quinine best to avoid it.

Thank you! I'm going to have to make some of your syrup for my sister
before summer gin & tonic season.

If you syrup is possibley fermenting then try:
Place the syrup in a sauce pan. Set on stove.
Bring some water to a boil separately.
Rinse your syrup bottle well, scrubbing if possible then fill with hot, hot water; scrub the cap as well and place in a bowl of hot water. Then after the bottle is hot, pour off that water and fill with boiling water then pour this off carefully and then fill again with hot water; do the same with the bottle lid. Set aside while you do the next thing:
Over low heat, bring to barely boiling and reduce heat while you empty the bottle filled as above. Pour in the hot syrup and then cap the bottle (it's going to be hot, so again, be careful). Best to place this in the refrigerator, but make sure you place the hot bottle on a clean, DRY towel, to avoid any themal shock that may break your syrup.
AND, Thank you for the chinchona bark!
