Just make it yourself, 1g of salt in 100 mL of lukewarm water
For anyone reading this…
MAKE SURE YOU BOIL THE WATER FIRST
This really burned my sinuses, I do not recommend.
Would it be better to pressure sterilize it? Or would using distilled water be sufficient?
Not sure about pressure sterilization, I guess as long as it kills everything.
Distilled water is safe.
Boiling at atmospheric pressure generally takes much longer to sterilize than boiling at like 15 psi. I was mostly curious about how sterile we should be.
Does this recipe need high precision? Because maybe that is a no-no for people without a decent scale and some volumetric equipment. Sure, if you already have this stuff it's fine, and probably you know good practices like using a properly treated volume of water. But if you don't, it's perhaps better to just buy the cheaper stuff.
Not at all. If you feel it burning, just water it down a bit more. No harm done.
Great!
