Mozzarella - Substituting Lactic Acid for Citric

Apologies if this is somewhere obvious I missed. I want to make a basic Mozzarella and all of the simplest recipes I've seen use an initial dose of citric acid to 90F milk prior to the remaining steps.
My issue is that when I went to my homebrewing store, I bought Lactic acid instead. Oops.
It's this stuff, food grade 88% lactic from LD Carlson:

I've been able to Google references to substituting pure lactic for citric acid in Mozzarella, but I can't figure out how much. Can anyone provide an idea of how much of this lactic would equal 1 tsp of citric acid crystals?
Thanks for helping out a beginner.
