I am attempting to preserve the shelf life of ice tea up to six months with citric acid, I need a perfected ratio?

15 November 2017 1 414 Report

Any one who can help with a ratio that can preserve 3-6months of packed ice tea,without increasing the pH

Is it liquid? Mould/ fungi is a huge issue in iced tea. You will need an anti fungal agent in the recipe too unless you are using aseptic techniques.
