Kratom How much lemon juice to add to make water a PH of 4?

[Juicewrldfan]

I don’t have ph strips right now and read that kratom is extracts best into a ph of 4. Lately I’ve just been using one tablespoon lemon juice and two cups of water but I’m not sure that’s right and wonder If I can make a better tea if I get the PH more exact. I realize that’s near impossible without a PH strip but I imagine I can get close.

I know water has a PH of 7. Distilled water that is. And lemon juice a PH of 2. Is there a formula I could use to get it to 4?

distilled water is not a 7 - it's usually slightly acidic - around a 6

it'll move really easily because of a nearly zero ppm/EC

youll probably be good with just a few drops for a gallon of water


i would think 1 tablespoon per 2 cups would send the ph to the floor to around 2 so that's too much

You could measure the PH using a purple Cabbage extract.

But you will need some suppplies when going this way. But its fun and it works!
