Quinine Recipe - Make Your Own
#10
Quinine is made from the bark of a South America tree - not lemon and grapefruit rinds. You've been (partially) misinformed.

Quinine IS the active ingredient of tonic water or "bitters". When the Wuhan Virus first hit, I went to the liquor store to get a couple of bottles (it's a lot weaker nowadays than it was during the days of the British Empire when it was issued as a malarial preventive to British soldiers), but apparently there is a guy around there who waits for the shipment to come in, and buys the entire thing, every time.

So I wound up with a couple of bottles of "diet" tonic water. Not recommended by me for anything.

I haven't checked the liquor store at my new digs yet, however, so there IS hope! I just have to figure out how to distill out the water to concentrate the quinine without hurting the quinine.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
