Directions for Homemade Pepsi
1. Prepare the Syrup
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved.
2. Add Color and Flavor
Once the sugar is dissolved, add 2 tablespoons of caramel color, 1 teaspoon of phosphoric acid, 1 teaspoon of caffeine, 1 teaspoon of natural flavors, and 1 teaspoon of citric acid to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Cool the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
4. Combine with Carbonated Water
In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups of carbonated water with the cooled syrup. Stir gently to combine, ensuring not to lose too much carbonation.
