I don't know how reliable this is, as I have never done this before. I stumbled accross this some time ago:

Wash the color off the pill.
Put it on a tablespoon and add 1.4 cc's of water. (Use a 1 cc
insulin syringe, 1 full syringe of water plus 40 units more).
Heat the water with a lighter until the pill JUST starts to
dissolve on the edges.
Stop heating. Mash the pill thoroughly with the end of the
plunger, mixing with the water.
Reheat the mixture just a little! Until the wax floating on top
is melted again. Don't EVER heat so much that it boils. (The
second heating is very short, it takes some practice. If you have
heated too long you will find that the mixture is too thick and
hard to draw up. In this case add a drop of water and reheat a
little).
Blow the waxy stuff off to the side of the spoon gently.
If it is heated just right, you blow on the wax and it all floats
over to the side very easily. At this point the mixture should
also have cooled down a little. Draw up the liquid, staying away
from the wax. If you blew it to the side and it has cooled, it
will not go into the syringe. You may find toward the end a
little bit of thicker stuff. Take your time and it will draw up
too. With practice the whole thing takes about two minutes. Good
luck. Jerry/Snipe.
