That would not work, the DXM HBr is soluble in the solution, so it would not separate.Hey llama, i heard awhile back that you can take a bottle of syrup, tie a rope to it, and "helicopter" it over your head for a few minutes (like a poormans' centrefuge). Supporredly, afterwards all the dxm will separate to the top and you just take the cap off and sip the top layer. Ever heard/tried that???
