I assume in soil? Your plants want a pH in the 6.4-6.8 range, so you need to get it there ASAP or they won't be able to absorb nutrients.

There is no magic formula for how much lime to add to how much water for a pot of a certain size with a given pH -- too many variables, you'll have to play around with it.

Don't worry about "drowning" your plant. Overwatering happens when people water too frequently, not from giving too much in a given watering. Any water that the soil can't hold will leak out the drainage holes in the bottom.
