Many thanks to all who responded, about this daunting (to unscientific-me,
anyway) task. I worked slowly and erred on the side of caution, diluted down to
a VERY weak solution, added sodium carb, let steep, and dumped. What was
left over, I'm adding to a pitcher of Herradura margaritas, for a little extra
zing while watching the World Series. ;-) Living without appropriate
storage facilities and in earthquake-prone SoCal as I do, I'm just as happy not
having a breakable gallon-jug of that stuff sitting around waiting to cause
trouble...thanx, listees.

Gregory (none the worse for wear, other than those odd new toes growing
out of my elbow)
