Question:

Anyone any idea how many drops of iodine per litre of water (and at what strenghn iodine) is required to sterilise water? Is it drinkable?

Answer:

well call me wierd & stand me next to a striped elephant, but I've little problem with the taste at all. No, not to the extent of adding it to drinking water at home, but when out in far-flung places I've never found myself thinking "I can't drink any more of this" (my wife on the other hand will carry powdered glop to add in to try to mask the taste..). As to how much, I don't know about different strengths of Iodine but if you get a little bottle intended for travel purposes then 4 drops per litre appears to be the going rate.
