Speaker 0 outlines the flavoring recipe: 45.8 milliliters lemon, 36.5 milliliters lime, 1.2 milliliters orange, eight milliliters tea tree, 4.5 milliliters cassia cinnamon, 2.7 milliliters nutmeg, 0.7 milliliters coriander, and 0.6 milliliters fenchole. He notes that optimally the mixture should age for a day or two before continuing.
Speaker 1 explains the final yield and the 7x concentrate: in the end, you’ll be rewarded with about 100 milliliters of flavor oil, which is enough for over 5,000 liters of soda or about as much as your mom drinks in a day. To make the 7x solution, simply dilute 20 milliliters of the flavor oil to a volume of one liter using food grade alcohol.
Next, a secondary water-based solution is prepared containing the other ingredients aside from sugar and carbonated water. Into roughly 200 milliliters of hot water, add 10 milliliters of 5% vinegar, 9.65 grams of caffeine, 175 grams of glycerin, 45 milliliters of 85% phosphoric acid, eight grams of wine tannins, 10 milliliters of vanilla extract, and three twenty milliliters of Schenck’s caramel color. Allow each ingredient to fully incorporate before adding the next, then dilute the mixture to a final volume of one liter using water.
Proceeding to make Coca Cola, add 104 grams of sugar and just enough water to dissolve everything. Next, add the flavor solutions to the syrup: 10 milliliters of the water-based solution and one milliliter of the alcohol-based 7x solution. A few extra drops of the 7x solution may be needed depending on taste.
As soon as everything is combined, heat the mixture in a microwave or by other means until nearly boiling. Once fully cooled, dilute the syrup to a volume of one liter with cold carbonated water, which can be store-bought or produced with a soda stream. This yields the finished Coca Cola. It can be drunk immediately, but for the most accurate final flavor, the soda should rest for a day or so in the fridge.
Speaker 0 adds a verdict: This is regular Coke. He notes that he cannot tell the difference, even though he knows it already, giving it a 9.5 out of 10. Speaker 1 agrees: 9.5 out of 10 is pretty good. Speaker 0 remarks that it tastes pretty close; they may not be able to tell if compared side-by-side with the original. Speaker 1 comments that it definitely tastes like Coke or a Coke product, and if labeled as vanilla Coke, they would still recognize it as Coke.
