Formula;
74.5% distilled water
10% fss coconut water
10% vanilla water (unfortunately FSS doesn't sell this anymore. So I'm not sure where you can get it anymore, but wholesale supplies plus sells something similar. Never tried it, but I linked to it)
Directions;
combine all ingredients and mix
check ph and balance to 4.5-5.5
pour in bottle of choice
Note; natural ph was 5.8 which is fine if you want to keep it there because adding in a ph buffer might make it to low. I added only one drop of a 50/50 diluted solution of citric acid and it dropped the ph to 4.6, which is a good ph, but you can see it dropped it down by a lot. So just keep that in mind.
