How to store media?

Hey everyone,

I have leftover MS media that I may want to use in the next few months for another VFT that I have, and I was wondering how to store it. It doesn't have any agar or gelling agents, its just the MS salts/vitamins mixed with distilled water. I have about half a liter left, and I could pressure cook / sterilize it if necessary. Does anyone have experience successfully storing and using media?
