    This is something that my family used to do in China, but when you’re sick they’d make “ginger tea”, just ginger slices in boiled water and brown sugar. That recipe later evolved to people using hot coke instead of water and brown sugar. I used to make it all the time in college!

    Hey Greg, chemist and former chemical hygiene/safety officer here. Awesome video, and your comment on "Ammonia coke" is intriguing since I associate amine compounds with a fishy smell, and concentrated ammonium hydroxide smells like what I can only describe as "bleeding out" (tons of iron-y, fresh blood notes), so I'm curious if this would add a nose note more than a flavor/palette note. Though I've herd others say ammonia smells way more fishy than bloody, so I could just have a weird nose. I'm also curious what it would do to the citrus notes, since you'd wind up neutralizing some of the acid in the drink, but I don't think there would be enough added to really knock out the phosphoric acid to a noticeable extent (though the drink might go a bit "saltier" from the neutralization) On a cursory glance, I see people call for ammonium carbonate, or "baker's ammonia", which apparently was a predecessor to baking soda/powder as a leavening agent. This is combined with weak ammonium hydroxide, alcohol, lemon, nutmeg, and lavender to make the classic aromatic ammonia "smelling salts" spirit.
    From a safety perspective, the only real danger would be going too hard on the ammonium hydroxide and making the solution too basic/caustic. The LD50 (the point at which 50% of people would die if they ate it) of ammonium hydroxide is 350 mg/kg body weight (in rats), which rounds out to just over 1 ounce of concentrated ammonium hydroxide, which yea...that's a lot and would send you to the hospital from caustic esophageal damage. Every recipe I find for "aromatic ammonia spirits" has the concentration at 1% ammonia, with final drink concentrations ranging in the 0.02% range, so you should be more than safe if you wanted to give it a go as long as you don't swig the bottle directly (which would still be likely safe, just profoundly unpleasant). You could even get some pH paper and test to make sure the pH is in a safe range, if you wanted to be extra careful. If you are making this yourself, and choose to go with adding ammonium hydroxide, just be really careful if you get a bottle of 30% ammonium hydroxide since it can chemically burn you.
    Adding the ammonia before heating will likely drive some of the ammonia out of the drink to leave a milder impact, if doing it cold/adding after heating is too intense. If there is a classic recipe that you would like to be vetted for chemical safety, I'd be happy to take a gander and let you know if it sounds sane (or, at the very least, safe)!

    Hot 7up is an old Irish mother’s remedy for upset stomach. Never been able to bring myself to try it. Old pubs in Ireland used to “mull” Guinness by putting a hot fire poker inside their pint.

    Here in Ireland, when kids were sick, we used to give them hot lemon soda (over here called lemonade, and often red in colour). Not sure if this goes on much nowadays though.

    I wonder if the Ammonia Coke you were talking about is something similar to like Salmiakki or salted licorice. It contains Sal Ammoniak, which is food grade ammonium chloride. Could be worth looking into if you wanted to explore this Ammonia Coke concept. IDK how easy it is to get ahold of food grade ammonium chloride but I think a good place to start is order some salted licorice and try to make like a syrup out of it and then use that. It'll add some licorice notes for sure but you will get that ammonia pungency.

    With Coca Cola syrup being made to emulate a fortified coca leaf infused wine from Corsica, the Hot Buttered Coke&Rum having a grape/wine ting is just testament to the creator trying to get the flavor right.

    Hey Greg!
    Big fan of the show.
    Episode idea - Greg's favourite video games (drinks)!
    Delve into some of your favourite video games from the past or present and pull out some interesting drinks and tell us a bit about why the game means so much to you or why you enjoyed it so much while trying to recreate or make it work.
    I know you've delved into Fallout a few times but I'd love to hear some of your other game choices.
    I love some of the freeform experimental stuff you do on the show and when you are excited about stuff, giving us background and history, it makes it all the better.
    Keep up the excellent work, love the show, a highlight of my day when it comes out.

    Not sure if anyone else posted this, but Diet coke uses Aspartame, I'm diabetic and have been so for many years. Aspartame was one of t he few sweeteners I could use but I could not cook with it because prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause Aspartame to lose its sweetness. I'm fairly certain that is why when you heated it up it caused it to lose it's sweetness. I could be wrong though. Love the show though, very interesting

    Before the advent of sodium bicarbonate, ammonium bicarbonate was used as a leavening agent in baking. My mum comes from a Mennonite family and every year for Christmas my Grandmother, and now my mom, would make ammonia cookies also known as Hirschhornsalz (deer horn salt) Kuchen because the ammonium bicarbonate came from ground deer antlers.

    Just did up a hot buttered coke. Used Appletons estate signature, and angostura bitters because I don't have tiki bitters. I'm not from hot buttered rum country, but this drink is way better than it has any right to be. Very similar to my family's hot rum today recipe, but not as much molasses or lemon flavour.
    Greg, you may be crazy, but it's not for enjoying this drink.

    During a week at boy scout camp my parent or guardian came over to help for a couple days as was standard, of my left behind provisions were a number of cans of soda, left in the car for days.
    He arrived and I decided I wanted a can of Coke. It was hot to the touch and I drank it. Drank as in went to chug as I did back in the day. I cannot decide which was more astonishing, the pain or the echoes of the belch that followed.

  • @LogicalNiko
    @LogicalNiko 3 месяца назад +1

    Now you should try making them the other kind of hot...as in spicy.
    Diet Coke is popular because it’s an excuse to continually mainline caffeine (47mg per can) but convince yourself you’re not consuming anything. It’s about 30-40% of a cup of coffee per can. A lot of business people would consume about one an hour in addition to other caffeine sources to just continue to delay the caffeine crash.
    Aromatic spirits of ammonia was a very ammonium hydroxide, water, some ethanol, and a bunch of flavorings like lemon oil, nutmeg, etc. if I understand it correctly the final mix was about 2-3% ammonia hydroxide and then you added 5-15ml to a entire glass of coke. So extremely low amounts. The acids the coke would quickly neutralize the ammonia probably giving you a brief whiff and then act mostly the same as bitters. Probably that similar tinge of formaldehyde that is in Dutch licorice. Completely harmless from as long as food/lab grade ammonium hydroxide is used (it’s used in a lot of foods anyway)

    I blended some Bud Light Lime beer with Minute Maid Limeade mix along with some ice to create a tart alcoholic lemonade slushy.
    (1) 12. FL OZ can of Minute Maid Limeade Frozen Concentrate
    (4) 12. FL OZ bottles of Bud Light Lime Lager. I used 3 bottles, because that’s the max capacity of my blender, but it was pretty tart. 4 should be perfectly smooth, 6 should be mild enough for everyone.
    I blended a few handfuls of ice, didn’t measure the exact amount. The total used should result in an icy slurry you can easily sip. Because I mixed everything with a blender, it also resulted in a pretty thick, foamy head which can result in a spilled overflow if you don’t carefully pulse the blender.
    Alternatively, instead of using a blender, you could mix everything in a large pitcher then either put in a freezer or just mix crushed ice later, though I believe you’ll be missing the foam, which some people like. I’m personally indifferent.
