Flavoring Formula
The flavoring formula for OpenCola is:
- 10.0 g food-grade gum arabic
- 3.50 mL orange oil
- 3.00 mL water
- 2.75 mL lime oil
- 1.25 mL cassia oil
- 1.00 mL lemon oil
- 1.00 mL nutmeg oil
- 0.25 mL coriander oil
- 0.25 mL neroli oil
- 0.25 mL lavender oil
Note: attempts to replicate this recipe in a home kitchen suggest that the water measurement might actually have been a typo, as the results of following the recipe exactly produces a dense glob of gum arabic that does not mix well into the concentrate recipe described below. Using 30.0 mL of water (added after mixing in all of the oils) allows the gum arabic to properly hydrate and you will have a liquid solution much more suited for addition to the sweetened concentrate.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
