After waiting for the mixture to come back to room temperature, you need to use a sieve to get only the liquid part, and leave the solid waste behind. Drink this mixture as syrup three times a day. One tablespoon each time would do.

For chronic alcoholics, the only way to get them to leave alcoholism is to make them hate alcohol. When alcohol combines with wild thyme water portion and taken, the effect is so disrupting for the drinker, that he or she will not touch alcohol again.
