Anyone have an easy recipe for home made carbonated cola (with a similar
kick as coca cola or pepsi)? With your help, I've solved the home carbonation problem and now endeavor to replace the "cola kick" that is so addictingly pervasive in corporate colas. I've tried carbonated lemon juice but find the visceral kick isn't as satisfying as that of a store-bought cola. In a previous thread, folks mentioned the "caffeine", or "high-fructose corn syrup" (aka HFCS) might be the ingredients in the manufactured colas which provide that addictively satisfying kick ... hence my endeavor to find a home kitchen cola recipe. As for ingredients, it seems two no brainers are the caffeine powders and the HFCS, both of which appear to be mail orderable if not in the local stores, however, this open source recipe for homemade cola (licensed under the GNU General Public License) doesn't seem to use either: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-OpenCola * 2.00 mL olive oil * 3.50 mL orange oil * 1.00 mL lemon oil * 1.00 mL nutmeg oil * 1.25 ml cassia (cinnamon) oil * 0.25 mL coriander oil * 0.25 mL neroli oil (similar to petitgrain, bergamot, or bitter orange oil) * 2.75 mL lime oil * 0.25 mL lavender oil * 10.0 g food-grade, NOT ART-GRADE gum arabic (thickener) * 3.00 mL water Which is the "essential" ingredient in the above that gives it the satisfying cola kick you find in store-bought colas? (Note: Snopes thinks it the leaf ... http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/formula.asp ) |

(Note: Snopes thinks > it the leaf ... http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/formula.asp ) Actually, I found LOTS of home made cola recipes (I should have googled more extensively before I asked for a home made cola recipe). http://www.alpharubicon.com/kids/makesoda.html http://sparror.cubecinema.com/cube/c...stry/cola2.htm http://www.tristanstephenson.com/wor...e-cola-recipe/ http://coffeetea.about.com/od/sodas/Soda_Recipes.htm http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/rec...ola78603.shtml http://www.askyourneighbor.com/recipes/364.htm http://www.recipegoldmine.com/namebrand/coca-cola.html http://recipecircus.com/recipes/Harp...made_Cola.html http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-...a-at-Home.aspx http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...a_recipes.html etc. The main problem with these homemade cola soda forumulas is they all seem to have quite a variety of presumably hard-to-find ingredients, petit grain, coriander oil, coco, phosphoric acid, caffeine (legal limit is 65mg/12oz = http://coffeefaq.com/site/node/13), dried lavender flowers, cola nuts, star anise, citric acid, etc.. What's useful is to find a single supplier for the various ingredients, yet, perhaps, what's more interesting is to figure out what the secret ingredient is that give it the essential mind-numbing bite. |

(Note: Snopes thinks > it the leaf ... http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/formula.asp ) Well, honey and HFCS have almost identical sugar profiles (approx. 55% fructose, 45% dextrose), so that might be a good start*. Add caffeine, caramel color, and carbonation and you're almost there. And don't forget some form of sodium, so it makes you thirstier instead of quenches. Bob -- *I know honey is pure and good, and HFCS is evil. It's not my fault they are essentially the same thing. |

Whatever is the real thing, it certainly ain't the corn sugar; that's a relatively recent replacement for only because it's cheaper by far...oldsters will claim the switch actually makes the beverage less palatable. -- |

Below it you will find the "concentrate", which has, among other things, 2 kg of sugar and 2.5mL of caffeine. There's your "kick". |

I can tell you that the new TJ Italian sodas--grapefruit and blood orange-- are almost addictively good. They really give you that rush and mouth feel that make you want to keep guzzling. Whatever the ingredient or carbonization process is that produces what you're looking for, they've got it (albeit at a high price). Maybe if you look at their ingredients you might avoid wasting time with inessentials..... -aem |

What you could do is buy the cola commerically, open the containers and remove the water through evaporation or assisted evaporation. Then add what remains to your carbonated liquid, and mix. |

It's not the leaf as suggested in at least one of the replies. It's not the corn sugar. It's the co2. Drink your beverage flat (uncarbonated). Then drink your bev erage highly carbonated (use the Fizz Giz from FizzGiz.com to kick it up a notch). Decide if the difference you notice is what you referred to as kick. Quickest way to remove all carbonation from any commercial soda product is to heat it to steaming, stir, allow to cool then refrigerate. That will flatten a soda in nothing flat. |

There's a "biography" about the Coco Cola company. It tells of using cane sugar for decades, then switching to beat sugar during WWII then switching to HFCS. Some folks can tell the difference between cane sugar and other sugars. I can if they are straight and side by side but not by the time they are further refined and used in a recipe. I remember being able to tell the old Coca Cola from the "Classic Coke". I'm not convinced that the only difference was the type of sugar used. There are root beer kits to make semi-home-made root beer. The kit I have is the Mr Beer type. You could brew a batch with two different types of sugar and see if you can tell the difference. I bet unless you use the obviously brown partially refined cane sugar you won't be able to tell. |

I didn't realize that regular brown sugar was *ever* partially refined sugar, but it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_sugar However: "Brown sugar is often produced by adding cane molasses to completely refined white sugar crystals in order to more carefully control the ratio of molasses to sugar crystals and to reduce manufacturing costs.[citation needed] This also allows the production of brown sugars to be based predominantly on beet sugar." Of course, if you buy something specifically labeled as partially refined cane sugar, then I would assume that it is. I just looked at my package of Safeway brown sugar. Ingredients are sugar, invert sugar and cane molasses. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

My first guess is because corn products aren't kosher for Passover for many (but not all) Jewish people. A nicely detailed explanation is he http://www.oukosher.org/index.php/pa.../article/4830/ |
