I do about 3/4 teaspoon per 250 ml water, I like it a bit thinner. the regular recipe on the bottle says 2 teaspoons per 500ml. I also have a bottle of straight water to drip in the sleeve during longer sessions. I also mix it up a day in advance, it really does take a while to fully “cure” or whatever you want to call it. it is very stringy so I recommend getting a squeeze bottle with a cap so when you cap it it cuts the drip rather than stringing all over. oh and 1 more thing do not use an immersion blender to mix it, lol, it never sets up.
