Reply:  So how do you go about mixing the thymol into your syrup?  I understand thymol must be dissolved into alcohol first, then the alcohol stirred into the syrup.
 
 
Allen asks:  "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also added but I have not much idea what it does."
 
Reply:  It's an emulsifier, but more of a soap.  You find it in every bottle of shampoo.
