“Coca” Cola Recipes with OpenCola

Sapa yang mau bikin “Coca” Cola….? Resep bikin Cola ternyata di buka di Internet namanya “OpenCola”. Seperti OpenSource saja jika di dunia IT. Ternyata OpenSource ada juga di dunia makanan dan minuman yah. Tinggal dicoba saja untuk diracik, jika enak silahkan ditambahkan sedikit bumbu rahasia dan kemudian dipatenkan dan di jual. Bisnis sekali pemikiran saya yah…. Bisa-bisa market share dari bisnis Coca Cola dan Pepsi bisa berkurang. Hayooo sapa yang mau bikin merek IndoCola atau JavaCola, peluang bisnis yang besar nih…

 

Tapi tidak ada yang menggaransi jika resep ini baik atau tidak baik dilihat dari sisi kesehatan. Namanya juga OpenSource.

Nih resepnya yang saya ambil dari http://www.wikihow.com/Make-OpenCola

Ingredients

All ingredients listed are in metric units.

Flavoring

• 3.50 ml orange oil
• 1.00 ml lemon oil
• 1.00 ml nutmeg oil
• 1.25 ml cassia oil
• 0.25 ml coriander oil
• 0.25 ml neroli oil
• 2.75 ml lime oil
• 0.25 ml lavender oil
• 10.0 g gum arabic
• 3.00 ml water

Concentrate

• 2.00 tsp (10 ml) flavoring
• 3.50 tsp (17.5 ml) 75% phosphoric acid or citric acid
• 2.28 l water
• 2.36 kg granulated white sugar
• 0.50 tsp (2.5 ml) caffeine (optional. use caution)
• 30.0 ml caramel color

Steps

Flavoring

1. Mix together the oils.
2. Add gum arabic and mix completely.
3. Add water and mix well. For this step, use a hand mixer or blender to thoroughly mix together.
4. The flavoring can be made in advance and stored for use later. Place in a sealed glass jar and place in the refrigerator or keep at room temperature.
   • When stored, the oils and water will separate. Just mix again before use. When used, the gum arabic will keep things together.

Concentrate

1. Mix 5 ml of flavoring with the phosphoric or citric acid.
2. Add the water and sugar and, while mixing, add caffeine if desired.
   • Make sure that the caffeine is completely dissolved before moving on to the next step.
3. Add caramel color and mix completely.

Soda

1. Mix one part of concentrate with five parts water. In other words, however much you use of the concentrate, use five times as much of water.
2. Carbonate the beverage. There are a few ways this can be accomplished:
   • Carbonate the beverage yourself
   • Mix soda water directly with the concentrate, as described in the previous step
   • Use a soda fountain that will combine the concentrate with carbonated water at the tap

Tips

• It can be difficult to find all the different ingredients. They are not always available in supermarkets. Try looking at local specialty shops in their baking section.
• Don’t confuse this homemade recipe with the the canned cola that’s been distributed at trade shows and through other venues or outlets. While the recipe is the same, the process of canning soda is beyond the scope of this article.

Warnings

• Caffeine can be toxic in high doses. Be careful not to add too much to your mixture, and do not ingest large quantities.
• Many of the oils needed for flavoring can burn skin. Use caution when preparing.
