Main Ingredients
Preparation
1. Mixing the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 liter of carbonated water with 0.25 cups of high fructose corn syrup or sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
2. Adding Color and Flavor
Add 0.5 tsp of caramel color to the mixture. This will give the Pepsi its characteristic dark color. Stir well to ensure it is evenly distributed.
3. Incorporating Caffeine and Acids
Dissolve 0.02 grams of caffeine and 0.1 tsp of phosphoric acid into the mixture. Ensure that both ingredients are thoroughly mixed in.
4. Final Flavor Touches
Add 0.5 tsp of natural flavoring and 0.05 tsp of citric acid to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
5. Preservation
Include 0.1 tsp of preservatives, like potassium sorbate, to extend freshness. Mix well.
6. Chilling
In a serving glass, add 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the prepared Pepsi mixture over the ice, filling the glass to the desired level.
