I am not sure if that is a word. LOL Anyway, now I have information on sweetner. Do you have any suggestions on something to put a tart-ness in the formula?

Any comments on my reply or further suggestions would be appreciated!! I'm VERY new at DIY!!
I just ordered powdered citric acid (food grade) and plan to put a few granules of it in my juice ASAP. It came in the mail today and I wanted to research how to use before I just WENT AT IT which is the only reason I haven't tried it yet.
The implication is "use it to taste" and that it is very concentrated citric fruit acid- mostly from lemon and lime. So i plan to be careful to not use too much but I assume that it will help a lot. I'll re-post as soon as I get to try it.
I also ordered Decadent Vapour Rhubarb but it hasnt come yet. I ordered that thinking it would provide the sour that I am looking for in addition to the citric acid. Its always good to have options!!
I'll re-post as soon as I get to try the 2 things out.
Mix and vape on!!

The DV Rhubarb turned out to be the flavor of pie filling. The reason you may not know what rhubarb OUTSIDE of pie tastes like is because it is naturally SUPER SOUR....but I guess he was going for "what people know" rhubarb to taste like. Oh well. Tastes excellent. Just not a tartener. Not that this is a solution for general tartness...but I just mixed up a batch of DV Sour Cherry with 15% flavoring. Its AWESOME!!!!! 5/5
Haven't tried the citric acid in juice YET. Will today or tomorrow...but I did try one granule on my tongue. I think it will be the perfect solution for adding tartness...but I will let you know in the next 36 hours.

Malic acid might work better than citric acid..

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION!!! AND THE LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The citric acid test that I ran today did tarten my juice. I guess I thought a little bit would go a little farther. I didn't measure it....but I would say I put in a "1/4 pinch" and I'm 5'8" & have average sized hands. I used it in 2ml.....it didn't get sour but it was less sweet and had a SLIGHT tart kick to it. It didn't dissolve right away but all was gone 3 hours later when I happened to look in the bottom of the bottle.

I got some LorAnn Tart & Sour and I haven't tried to get something really sour YET, but so far I can definitely say it is a REALLY NICE flavor enhancer and does add tartness. No extra TH yet. Sorry. I only used about 8 drops in 5 FULL ml. Obviously I will be able to use more than this in another batch of something. I recommend this for your DIY stash for flavoring purposes!! Can't attest to the safety of it.
