Flavoring Formula
The flavoring formula for OpenCola is:
- 10.0 g food-grade gum arabic
- 3.50 mL orange oil
- 3.00 mL water
- 2.75 mL lime oil
- 1.25 mL cassia oil
- 1.00 mL lemon oil
- 1.00 mL nutmeg oil
- 0.25 mL coriander oil
- 0.25 mL neroli oil
- 0.25 mL lavender oil
Note: attempts to replicate this recipe in a home kitchen suggest that the water measurement might actually have been a typo, as the results of following the recipe exactly produces a dense glob of gum arabic that does not mix well into the concentrate recipe described below. Using 30.0 mL of water (added after mixing in all of the oils) allows the gum arabic to properly hydrate and you will have a liquid solution much more suited for addition to the sweetened concentrate.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“Hidden away amongst Aschenbach’s writing was a passage directly asserting that nearly all the great things that exist owe their existence to a defiant despite: it is despite grief and anguish, despite poverty, loneliness, bodily weakness, vice and passion and a thousand inhibitions, that they have come into being at all. But this was more than an observation, it was an experience, it was positively the formula of his life and his fame, the key to his work.”
—Thomas Mann (18751955)
