50ml is only 1/4 cup. Personally, I could do it in one gulp, but that doesn't mean everyone can.

See Stan's guide, I think it explains the rationale for the exact measurements.

The guide says the goal is to use as little water as possible. I'm not sure of the reason, though.

I tried 50mls but spit out a couple of days ago and I still had alot left I read Stan's guied probably a hundred times lol but it only shows 50 ml that's why I was wondering if I could

You could go up to 100 but I've never heard of less. That doesn't mean it will compromise the method or that it won't.

Have you looked at the SN successes and failures thread to see if anyone else used less water?

Yeah I haven't seen less the 50ml I've seen 100 ml but not 40ml

You are potentially going to run into issues with concentration. As you start decreasing the water below 50ml, you are upping the issues with taste and potential issues with throat burning. 50ml is frankly pushing it. In the end, do what you feel comfortable with. It is going to taste salty no matter what. If a worse taste and potential burning throat is more preferable than 2 sips of a slightly less salty solution, you have your answer.
