Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup. Stir gently to avoid losing carbonation.

    Add the natural flavors, caramel color, caffeine, citric acid, and sodium benzoate to the mixture. Stir until well combined.

  3. 3

    Final Touch

    Finally, add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir gently. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Chilling

    Transfer the mixture into a clean bottle or container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
