Preparation

Preparation

1. Mix the Syrup

In a large mixing bowl, combine the high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, caffeine, natural and artificial flavors, citric acid, and sodium benzoate. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully dissolved and well combined.

2. Dilute the Syrup

Once the syrup is mixed, slowly add the carbonated water to the bowl while stirring gently to ensure the carbonation does not dissipate. This will create a concentrated soda base.

3. Final Mixing

After the carbonated water is fully incorporated, add the additional water for dilution. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

4. Serve

Pour the homemade Dr Pepper® into glasses over ice, if desired, and enjoy your refreshing beverage!
