  • ¾ tsp (3.50 mL) orange oil
  • ½ tsp (2.75 mL) lime oil
  • ¼ tsp (1.25 mL) cassia oil
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) lemon oil
  • ¼ tsp (1 mL) nutmeg oil
  • 0.25 mL (5 drops) coriander oil
  • 0.25 mL (5 drops) neroli oil
  • 0.25 mL (5 drops) lavender oil
  • 2 teaspoons (10.0 g / 10 mL) food-grade gum arabic
  • ⅔ teaspoon (3 mL) water
  • 11 cups (2.36 kg / 5.2 lb) plain granulated white table sugar
  • 9½ cups (2.28 L / 4.41 quarts) water
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) caramel color
  • 3½ tsp (17.25 mL) 75% phosphoric acid or citric acid
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Flavoring Formula
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) caffeine (optional)

Steps

  1. Mix oils together in a cup.
  2. Add gum arabic, and mix with a spoon.
  3. Add water and mix well. A mixer may be used for this step, mixing for 4–5 minutes. You can also transfer to a blender for this step.
  4. Store this mixture in a sealed glass jar in a refrigerator or at room temperature. Please note that this mixture will separate. The gum arabic is essential to this part of the recipe, as you are mixing oil and water.
  5. In a one gallon container, combine 1 tsp of the flavoring formula with the phosphoric or citric acid.
  6. Mix in the water, then the sugar.
  7. While mixing, add the caffeine, if desired. Make sure the caffeine is completely dissolved.
  8. Add the caramel color and mix thoroughly.
  9. To finish the drink, mix 1 part syrup with 5 parts carbonated water.
