Former pharmacy tech here, 8 years compounding pharmacy.

Get a mortar and pestle, crush it up and put it in whatever.

If not then use yogurt or something gooey.

As a kid the bitterness of the crushed pill made me gag, even when mixed in something sweet like jam. Maybe my folks just needed to dilute it more with like an entire bowl of ice cream or something but I remember throwing up more than once because of the disgusting taste.

This is because Mary Poppins lied to us. It isn't a spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down, but something with a bit of salt in addition to that sugar. Salt masks bitterness.
