Coca-Cola Recipe Uncovered
The original recipe of Coca-Cola was unearthed by a team behind a radio programme who were stunned to find what looked to be 'that' recipe published openly in a decades-old newspaper article.
More shocked was the food historian who was interviewed, who said it's very likely the recipe is authentic.
So here's the so-called formula for Coca-Cola Classic, complete with the ultra-secret "7X flavour" that makes Coke so unique:
Standard ingredients:
Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams
USP Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 (unclear quantity)
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color
The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):
Alcohol: 8 oz
Orange oil: 20 drops
Lemon oil: 30 drops
Nutmeg oil: 10 drops
Coriander: 5 drops
Neroli: 10 drops
