You can get a ph pen. They are very accurate easy to use and cost about £30. and will last for years as they can be re calibrated.

Test strips always work in a pinch, but like hash says, you can get a good ph ed pen, but I would by one with a replaceable probe, as they won't last, they eventually dry out and become unusable.

You should get a cheap ph meter off Amazon. You can get decent ones under 50 bucks but I would stay away from the -10 meters. The test drops and strips I've yet to find anything real reliable.
