Hmm, i did not wash the EA at all. I only froze it and filtered out the water ice crystals.

But from the looks of it, it doesn't hurt to have the citric still in there. I guess the 2-3min contact of the mesc with the citric aren't enough to grow crystals that don't get through the coffee filter. It leads to faster crystallisation and more places they stick to ont he glass walls, it seems.

This pic is at 18h after dropping the citric, still left is reused and right is fresh EA
