The excipients in some aspirin pills aren't really desirable, so I try and filter them out by dissolving the aspirin in slightly boiled water and blocking the talc particles with a spoon whilst pouring the water into another container.
Sometimes I'll pour the aspirin solution into drinks, mainly because the flavour is a bit better and it digests nicer. Sometimes I don't always make a good job of filtering the talc and other excipients, as they float on water.
I noticed today whilst pouring the aspirin solution into a cup of full fat milk that, whilst a significant amount of the excipients made it into the drink, the majority had sunk to the bottom, unlike when it floats on water. I'm guessing something in the milk made it sink to the bottom? Either way, I managed to avoid ingesting most of the excipients this way.
