We Made The Original Dr Pepper Recipe From 1885 !!!
The bitter flavor is likely from astringents in the barks that are in the recipe. You could try adding the barks later. Another tip would be to wait until the mixture is cold before adding the extracts as the heat can denature the flavor compounds. Just what I've learned in my couple tries of making homemade root beer/dr pepper. :)
You guys should’ve used seltzer water set of club soda probably would’ve been better because that’s what they used for Dr Pepper and Coca-Cola seltzer water
yea club soda has a funky taste
Club soda has bicarbonate of soda in it to flatten the taste of the carbolic acid the CO2 imparts to the water. Use seltzer water. All seltzer is is carbonated water. The baking soda in club soda messes with the flavor of everything. Also, you might be getting some bitter from the orange oil. As an oil, it doesn't like to mix with water, so I probably would have used strained orange juice.
Also, refrigerate the soda water so it holds the gas better and doesn't melt the ice the instant it hits it.
My opinion first with this kind of recipe you really need to use exact amounts that means using a scale the kinda close method doesn't cut it. Two get a soda stream so you can mix soda with plain water and get the flavor you want and have the carbonation.
Long before Soda Stream, I got a 5 lb tank of CO2 with a regulator and a pin type connector that fits most Cornelius kegs. Someone also came out with a thing called a "carbonator cap", which screws onto a standard PET soda bottle and lets you connect it to the pin lock connector on a tank of gas like the one I have. *You must have a regulator to keep the pressure reasonable! If you do not, it could kill you!*
To properly carbonate water, you fill your bottle with water, leaving head space at the top for gas. Then REFRIGERATE IT. Get it as cold as you can without freezing it. Cold water can dissolve more CO2 in it than warm water because cold water is DENSER. It's the opposite of dissolving a solid into liquid -- then, you want to heat the liquid to dissolve the solid. But when dissolving gas into liquid, you want the liquid COLD. You can screw the carbonator cap directly onto the bottle after you fill it with water, then when it's cold, connect the cap to your tank of CO2. Crack the valve open. The bottle should THRUM solid like a drum when the gas pressurizes it. Then agitate the bottle to dissolve the gas into the water. This is just like stirring your coffee to dissolve sugar. You need to move the liquid around to disperse the substance you're dissolving into it. So shake the stuffin's out of that bottle! Then close your valve and quickly disconnect the carbonator cap from the hose. Put it back in the fridge and let it sit for at least half an hour, preferably a couple of hours, to let the gas finish dissolving into the water as much as it is able. Now, if you gently remove the cap, it shouldn't foam up.
If you refrigerate your store-bought seltzer or club soda, it will not foam up and lose all your gas to the air like a room-temperature bottle will. Warm water holds CO2 badly. Warm carbonated water will go flat FAST.
I've made my own soda for years. I started with sugar-based sodas until I went type II diabetic (not because of the soda, my mom was type II), then I switched to artificial sweeteners, mostly erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit extract. When I used sugar, I could naturally carbonate it with a bit of champagne yeast. Some yeasts will stop when you get them cold in the fridge, and others will slow down but keep working in the fridge. I found one that will work very fast when warm and slowly but steadily when cold. Great for making hard beverages, lousy for just getting them fizzy. It's great for making a homebrewed "white claw" like seltzer. It does require you start with a sugary base liquid, but will eat the sugar until as much has turned to alcohol as possible.
@@JennyEverywhere all that stuff won't cost less than a used soda stream, though
Sounds like it could've been tonic water and not soda. The bitterness being from quinine. Maybe they messed up the bottling.
Try sparkling water, like pierre or off brand. Seltzer style water. No more bitterness
Next time, invest a few bucks in a kitchen scale. Either that, or pre-convert your metric into imperial, so you can use teaspoons. But a kitchen scale would be better and probably would get lost in the cost of the other ingredients.
I was thinking the same. Like seriously, it’s probably not even ten bucks for a cheap one.
Awe, Amanda is so adorable. Thanks again for another great video!
What did you put in it for the caffeine? According to google the caffeine they put in Dr. Pepper and most commercially produced caffeinated soft drinks is synthetically produced in a Chinese pharmaceutical plants.Synthetic caffeine is produced by chemical synthesis of urea as a raw material, which is then combined with different chemicals such as methyl chloride and ethyl acetate. When caffeine is made synthetically, it is produced with a much higher concentration and is absorbed much faster by the body.
The bitterness is probably quinine since the english used it to combat malaria in the tropics thru gin and tonic. 🍸The tonic part being quinie and as it it so bitter tge gin would mask the taste. As allways love your cooking videos❤
A big part of the bitterness in Dr Pepper comes from the caffeine.
Gentian is a probably your primary source of bitterness here - it is a key flavor in Angostura bitters, and Italian aperitifs such as Aperol and Campari
Love these types of videos :) You three should make another channel together, testing old recipes like this and the Coke one. I personally love watching RUclipsrs who attempt to recreate old recipes and try them. I find it interesting to see if its even doable, keep up the amazing work! Also love the MRE video's as well, learning about different foods for different Military. :)
Club soda is not the same as carbonated water. There are added ingredients.
I appreciate the video and enjoyed the content, but I am surprised that after purchasing so many expensive ingredients that you couldn't invest in an inexpensive kitchen scale. It would have made a difference in your accuracy. Also, 3 teaspoons is 1 tablespoon. Much easier. AND club soda has sodium and other ingredients. You really need seltzer water to be honest to your ingredients.
This video should be titled "Americans grossly over estimate the weight of a gram". 😆 But I totally agree--you definitely need seltzer vs. club soda.
Because McCormicks makes a root beer and that’s what I usually use is like Kroger seltzer water any seltzer water we do
Just use plain water and make some CO2 gas to put in the water, probably under pressure I don't know for sure. You can make CO2 gas with citric acid and baking soda using equal parts of each(I think) and mix them together in water. Make the CO2 in a closed container an you will need some sort of tube to run from the container over to your drink and probably attach the tube to a lid that you can hold down against the rim of your glass to let the pressure force the gas through your drink.
If you don't mind, where did you all find this recipe? I've only ever heard of the "Pepsin Bitters" recipe (which might have been a very early precursor and contains gentian root, cloves, cinnamon, and a couple kinds of tree bark)
Out of curiousity, what is the source for this recipe?
Try it with blue LaCroix.
Educational. It's funny if you think about it, how many tries it took to get that flavor profile. Either club soda or San Pelegrino might work. I liked the Coke video. Maybe root beer or ginger ale for next "soda pop" video.
Hi you are my favorite RUclipsr thanks for makeing my day even better
Thank you
That wasn't 15 grams of wintergreen leaves, more like 3-5. Because weed.
Id be curious to see what it would taste like with natural cane suger
You need caramel coloring to make it darker.
Look up the Great Molasses Flood of Boston, 1919. It’s intense.
Should’ve of used seltzer water instead of club soda. , club soda has sodium content which will alter the taste on what your actually trying to achieve.
Do you think if you used a soda stream the sodas would taste better?
How you going to do this recipie without a scale
Why doesn’t anyone try to do this with one of those soda makers that carbonizes any liquid you put in it, so you don’t have to ruin the flavors with club soda.
Glad to see the expansion of ideas nice addition
My favorite drink
seltzer water instead of club soda
"We'll start off from left to right here"
Starts from right to left. . lol
Wow cool ingredients. Never knew. Now i want a Dr Pepper.
holy ingredients! yes the bitterness is the club soda, use seltzer water like mike said
Dr Pepper contains caffeine, which is bitter.
Very cool stuff
The citric acid can give a bitter or sour taste too
I believe the Dr pepper these days is missing cloves!
He's using Best Choice products.
I think I'm going to adjust the qtys and try this in making into a gin.
Could be the citrus acid. It’s very bitter.
Very interesting, great episode..
Lovin the Charlie Brown background music!
Use tonic water or sparkling water.
i still kinda like it but i liked it more before they changed the taste a lil bit.
Good now do this Coca Cola Lmao
Try it with tonic water.
They add color don't they?
Ouch, but how many gallons can you make with all the flavoring ingredients?
That's fake almond extract and you absolutely CAN buy real cherry extract
She can stay.
Ngl Nathan I’m about to be your brother in law lolol
Who could taste all these ingredients?
Where's the cocaine? Y'all snort it?.....dang
There are NO PRUNES in Dr Pepper. This is about the only agreed-upon recipe ingredient, and y’all screwed it up by adding prunes. 🤦🏻♂️
Oh boy.
club soda is for sure an acquired taste lol.
What happened with the Coca Cola video? Did you try the original recipe that's a matter of public record and Coke got upset? Cuz they normally don't get upset over that recipe since they haven't used it in ages...
Why wouldn't he let her take more? It's too weak?
There nothing wrong with my knife lol
I find it very annoying that they would spend all this money, film the process, and then not measure out the ingredients. Like, the halfassesness made me turn it off halfway through
U needed way more syrup in those cups lol has to be as dark as the soda in the bottle
good one, bottoms up ...lol..
did it contain urine
the way she cut that ginger stuff annoyed me abit
i like the zero sugar dr pepper
Now do Pepsi & then you've done the main 3
This guy is so frustrating lol. Telling her its good enough for some measurements when it obviously isnt, and also saying its even when they first put the syrup into the cups when its obviously not lol.. then telling her not to add more syrup (soda syrup takes a lot to get the flavor right, especially older recipes.)
Goodness. I was interested, but they have the personalities of a fish. Bounced after two minutes.
@Nathans MRE
*The beverage manufacturers are going to hate you, because you're giving people the original and best tasting recipe they can make at home, and it's cheaper to make than what you can buy at the store*
Thanks, I love these home made soda videos!
This stuff is sure as hell not cheaper.
@@gunnarthefeisty Actually it IS since you are buying items that you can use to make batch after batch of the soda.
@@gunnarthefeisty You are bot I say, a bot.
@@watershed44 How dreadfully rude
@@gunnarthefeisty Being truthful is not rude. Being a bot is being rude.
Bro, you look soooo depressed💯. Is everything ok? I'm not even trolling, it breaks my heart how just sad you look to be, and sound. If your just naturally deflated in your speaking then my bad. But if you are depressed, I hope your life starts going your way. You just have the air of someone in the middle of a divorce, or a man in dire need of a divorce💯. I hope you find happiness my friend. You deserve it✊
I made the voke recipe and its delicious and on the fourth sip it tastes like coke but i like the first sips where you can taste cinnamon lime orange and vanilla
