Here are the updated calculations for 1/4 tsp H2O2 per litre:
1/4 tsp H2O2 = 1.23 milliliters
But H2O2 is 3% concentration, so the actual amount of H2O2 is
1.23 milliliters * 0.03 = 0.0369 milliliters H2O2
Now, 1 ppm = 1 milliliter per litre
So 0.0369 milliliters = 0.0369 ppm, or ~40 parts per billion

After the brew is finished and it turns yellow, or your previous
experience tells you it probably will.

I'd toss it. H2O2 is cheap and you don't need much.

The easiest explanation is it converts the unusable silver oxides to
ions so your body can use them. It is possible there might be a
synergistic effect between the H2O2 and the silver ions after they
enter your body, but this is a pure guess. I find little or no H2O2
taste at the low concentrations needed.
