Syrup Base

Carbonated Water

Garnish

Method

Preparing the Syrup Base

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add vanilla extract, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, star anise, lemon juice, and coriander seeds to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Cool the Syrup

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the syrup to remove the solid spices.

Combining the Drink

  1. 5

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled syrup base with the carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.

  2. 6

    Adjust Sweetness and Caffeine

    Taste the drink and adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired, and if using, add caffeine to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare Glasses

    Fill glasses with ice and pour the Curiousity Cola over it.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Garnish each drink with a lime slice and a few mint leaves before serving.
