It varies.  I use a swimming pool ph test kit and add the soda until the ph
is 7.  I pretty well mix them all at once.  There are some things in aloe
vera that can have an H or an OH tail, and if you add acid or alkaline will
switch tails (I may not be describing this quite right, I read a paper on it
quite some time ago). So what happens is that as you add the soda, the ph
increases quickly until it reaches 7, then you can add quite a bit more
before it starts increasing again. Thus you will find that a fairly wide
range of soda will give the same result in the end of 7.
