Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Base

    In a large mixing container, combine 1 liter of carbonated water with 240 ml of high fructose corn syrup. Stir gently to mix the syrup into the water thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Adding Color and Flavor

    Add 0.5 tablespoons of caramel color to the mixture. This will give the drink its signature dark hue. Stir again until the color is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Incorporating Acids and Caffeine

    Next, sprinkle in 0.1 tablespoons of phosphoric acid and 0.03 tablespoons of caffeine. These ingredients provide the characteristic tang and energy boost. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

  4. 4

    Adding Natural Flavors

    Add 0.02 tablespoons of natural flavors to the mixture, which can include extracts of vanilla, cinnamon, and citrus. Mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Final Touch with Citric Acid

    Finally, add 0.01 tablespoons of citric acid to enhance the tartness. Stir one last time to combine all ingredients.

  6. 6

    Chilling and Serving

    Transfer the prepared cola into bottles or a pitcher. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve over ice if desired.
