Growing Citric Acid Crystals

I have found loads of recipes to grow crystals to help me out in my study on crystal but one I couldn't find is citric acid crystals, can this be done? Citric acid is just a sour sugar so would do it like I would sugar crystals? If so those would taste good, sour crystals yum. I love rock candy but making it sour would be even better. And what other acid powders could grow crystals?

 

And off topic I have a chemistry set that is 50 years old, should I not use those chemicals for anything or do they not expire?
