Coca-Cola Inspired Syrup
Method
Coca-Cola Inspired Syrup
Prepare caramel base
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and 0.5 cups water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture darkens to a rich amber caramel. Do not burn.
Make spice infusion
In a separate pot, bring 2 cups water to a simmer. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, dried orange peel, and citric acid. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to extract flavors. Strain the infusion into a clean container.
Combine caramel with flavorings
Pour the amber caramel into a clean container. Add the spice infusion, vanilla extract, orange extract, lemon extract, and caramel color. Stir to dissolve completely and create a uniform syrup.
Chill syrup
Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and achieve a glossy finish.
Serve cola
To serve, mix syrup with carbonated water in a 1:1 ratio, or to taste. Start with 1 part syrup to 1 part carbonated water, adjusting as desired. Serve over ice if desired.
