Saline Solution
Saline Solution is a tincture with no alcohol in it, not yet used in a drink on this site.
Making it
refrigerated and sealed. A shelf life here is conservative bar practice rather than a food-safety authority's figure, and it assumes the preparation was bottled clean and cold.
Composition
Derived from the ingredient records — A drop is taken as a twentieth of a millilitre, the conventional metric drop, because that is how this is dosed and nobody measures it any other way. The density comes out a little low against published figures for salt solutions of this strength - volume additivity assumes the crystal and the water simply share the space, and dissolved salt contracts a fraction more than that. It moves nothing at these amounts. Every figure here is derived from the ingredient records this recipe names, not measured in a bottle: mass and volume are summed over the lines and the density falls out of the two. The method is worth one check - a one-to-one syrup comes out at 1.228 g/ml against the 1.230 published for a 50% sucrose solution at 20 degrees, a difference of 0.15%. It is marked estimated because a derivation is not a measurement.

Method
1 steps · 2mStir the 20 g salt into the 80 ml water until it has completely gone. Warm water is faster and changes nothing else.
The amounts above are the batch this recipe makes, not a portion of it, and they do not scale with any drink count — a preparation is made once and then measured out of.
