5 drops is about 1/2 ml. A teaspoon is 5 ml, so if you use 1/8 tsp, you
should be in range.
Actually, there are 60 drops in a teaspoon, but 50 is probably good
enough for a working number.
I thought 60 was way too many when I looked it up, so I took a teaspoon
and an eyedropper and tested. Results varied from 58-62 so 60 it is.
Ack. Remind me not to do math when I'm sick again. Did you count water
or ammonia? I've always gotten 20 drops/ml with water (goofed above)
which would put 100 drops in a teaspoon. But different liquids and
droppers give different results.
