Chloroquine is from Quinine which comes abundantly from a bark from a tree in peru. Hydrochloriquine is just a more saturated, artificial, version of chloroquine.
This probably tastes bitter like Quinine. So you can make a "tonic-like" flavor to add to your gin. But I doubt citrus peels actually contain enough Quinine, if at all. Perhaps bitter tanins mimick the flavor. If grapefruit does contain quinine I would be worried about getting enough from the stew to make effective dosage.
If you want non-prescription chloroquine buy tonic water drops. Read ingredients and make sure it contains quinine. Then follow label directions to mix with water (and juice to flavor). You need the equivalent to 1-2 liters of tonic water per day as a prophylactic, or 3-4 liters a day (with zinc) if you are sick, depending on weight. If you have the drops you can super concentrate the water so h2o volume not necessary. Sadly these drops are also going to come with sugar or fake sugar, so pick your poison.
Quanine is considered a drug but booze lobby got the ok to add to tonic water, just enough so it would give that terrible flavor but not enough to hurt anyone unless you had 8+ liters, which no sane person would do. Hence the concentrated drops being a legal way to take a high dose without all that water.
Brits drank gin and tonics daily to prevent malaria when they were trying to settle in India. Malaria was fucking people up by the hundreds of thousands at the time, so the peruvian tree bark discovery was a miracle. This wasnt even known about 100 years ago.
It also naturally repells mosquitos when bugs smell it on your skin. Make your next camping trip a gin and tonic one and see for yourself.
Thanks. Cinchona is the peruvian tree bark, mentioned. I once grabbed some powder off ebay but didnt understand dosage.
I believed actual chloriqine medical pill as prophylatic was about 500mg once per week for 2 weeks. Then 250mg every week after, but memory hazy on that, so dont quote me. I think another protocol was 400mg daily if you were sick.
But I didnt know how much powder that was. It tasted pretty gross to eat with teaapoon and so just decided to use concentrated tonic water from drops. If somebody competent knew how much tincture equalled the equivalent in quanine then I would have gone that route. Albeit I want to say that product wasnt available when I was looking (early). Only powders were out there at the time.

As for "homemade Hydroxycloroquine", a better solution might be tincture of Cinchona, which are readily available online these days.
I make my own and had enough on hand to supply folks within my extended community for a while when Hydroxycloroquine was hard to find locally.

Conventionally grown citrus is likely to have insecticide residue on the peel.
