MAKE: Blog: Make your own Coca-Cola

Make your own Coca-Cola

Coke
The Guardian has some background (and the recipe) of a DIY Coca-Cola effort in the UK - "On a kitchen table two young women have assembled a variety of items. There are brown bottles, bags of white powder, a pestle and mortar, a collection of funnels, a roll of silver gaffer tape. There is a drill. There is a whisk. Are they making bombs? Are they making drugs? No. They are doing something far more likely to change the world we live in. They're making their own version of Coca-Cola." [via] - Link.

Pictured here, a possible recipe from the soda museum - Link.

Hi there

You could drop a line to my colleague maurice@opendoors-newbusiness.co.uk - he's been in the business for 20 odd years and is happy to dispense free practical advice for these sorts of situations.

All the best

This reminds me of Open Cola. They had a very similar recipe which is publicly available on the Internet under the GPL.
