Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing container, pour 1 liter of carbonated water. This will be the base of your Pepsi.

  2. 2

    Add Sweetener

    Slowly add 0.15 liters of high fructose corn syrup into the carbonated water, stirring gently to combine without losing carbonation.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Color

    Add 0.01 liters of caramel color to the mixture, ensuring it is fully integrated for that classic Pepsi color.

  4. 4

    Acid and Flavor

    Add 0.005 liters of phosphoric acid and 0.005 liters of natural flavors to the mixture, stirring gently after each addition.

  5. 5

    Caffeine and Citric Acid

    Finally, add 0.001 grams of caffeine and 0.002 grams of citric acid to the mixture, and stir until completely dissolved.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve cold in a glass over ice for the best experience.
