It is 1.6ml per litre, so why not just use a syringe and add 8ml to your bottle?

That's what I do. A few different syringe sizes can come in handy for water testing, diluting starsan and so on.

I bought the syringes and a couple of pump action spray bottles from ebay for very little. I keep a litre spray in the beer shack and a half litre spray by the kitchen sink with a small tub of plastic caps for putting on the empties after they're rinsed out.

Anyone with children knows this.. If you don't have them ask a friend that does...

The children's painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol are delivered in liquid form... They almost all come with a 5ml measuring syringe in the pack. Our house must have at least a dozen of them by now.

That 5 ml Max is perfect for measuring 3.5ml to add to a 2 litre mix

Yes, that's all you need to do.
