   DD> Title: Onion Soup w/Coke   
   DD> 7 oz Coca-Cola(original bottle) *   
   DD> * Nearly impossible to find. Substitute a "mini Coke" in the 7 1/2 oz   
   DD> size.   
      
   I've been told that Mexican Coke can be found on Scamazon and in Mexican   
   grocery stores.  Here's a recipe for OpenCola.  Just like Coke, it does   
   *not* contain any kola nut.

    Categories: Beverages   
         Yield: 24 Liters   
       
   MMMMM---------------------FLAVOURING FORMULA--------------------------   
        10 g  Food-grade gum arabic   
     3 1/2 ml Orange oil   
         3 ml Water   
     2 3/4 ml Lime oil   
     1 1/4 ml Cassia oil   
         1 ml Lemon oil   
         1 ml Nutmeg oil   
       1/4 ml Coriander oil   
       1/4 ml Neroli oil   
       1/4 ml Lavender oil   
      
   MMMMM-----------------SYRUP CONCENTRATE FORMULA----------------------   
     2 1/3 kg Sugar   
     2 1/4 l  Water   
        30 ml Caramel color   
    17 1/2 ml Phosphoric acid (75%) or   
              - citric acid (3-1/2 ts)   
        10 ml Flavouring formula (2 ts)   
     2 1/2 ml Caffeine (1/2 ts)   
              - (optional)   
       
     Flavoring Formula:   
        
     Mix oils together in a cup. Add gum arabic, mix with a spoon. Add   
     water and mix well. I used my trusty Braun mixer for this step,   
     mixing for 4 to 5 minutes. You can also transfer to a blender for   
     this step. Can be kept in a sealed glass jar in the fridge or at room   
     temperature.   
        
     Please note that this mixture will separate. The gum arabic is an   
     essential to this part of this recipe, as you are mixing oil and   
     water.   
        
     Syrup Concentrate:   
        
     In a 1 gallon container, take 10 ml (2 ts) of the flavoring formula,   
     add the 75% phosphoric or citric acid. Add the water, then the sugar.   
     While mixing, add the caffeine, if desired. Make sure the caffeine is   
     completely dissolved. Then add the caramel color. Mix thoroughly.   
        
     Cola:   
        
     To finish drink, take 1 part syrup and add 5 parts carbonated water.
