last update: 11 July 2007

Nb. 1 batch of this recipe as written here will produce approximately 117 L cola. You may want to divide all quantites by 1/2 if you do not want to become a small cola producing factory; smaller divisions of the recipe are difficult to handle at the emulsion stage, as the measures of oils and water are already very slight.

ALL INGREDIENTS

• orange oil
• lime oil
• lemon oil
• cassia oil
• nutmeg oil
• coriander oil
• lavender oil
• gum arabic
• caramel colour
• citric acid
• caffeine
• vodka (trace)
• water
• GNU GPL

THE RECIPE

STEP 1: 7x Formula

Using food-grade essential oils only, assemble

• 7.50 ml orange oil
• 7.00 ml lime oil
• 2.00 ml lemon oil
• 0.75 ml cassia oil
• 1.50 ml nutmeg oil
• 0.50 ml coriander oil (12 drops)
• 0.50 ml lavender oil (12 drops)
• 0.50 ml neroli oil (optional/removed due to high expense of neroli)

Using a measuring syringe, measure out the oils into a glass or ceramic container. Keep it covered to avoid volatile oil fumes escape.

Then dissolve

20.0 g instant gum arabic (equivalent to 44ml) in 40 ml water (low calcium / low magnesium, volvic is good) with 1 drop vodka (we are using zubrowka). (be aware that total quantity of vodka will be 0.0003 ml per litre of cube-cola)

Place the gum/water/vodka mix in a high-sided beaker, stainless steel or glass are best. Using a high-power corded or hammer drill with kitchen whisk attachment, whisk the gum mixture at high speed while your colleague droppers the oils mix in steadily with the measuring syringe. Continue to whisk at high speed for several minutes, or until oils and water emulsify.

The resulting mixture will be cloudy. Test for emulsification by adding a few drops of the mixture to 1 glass water. No oils should be visible on the surface. You now have a successful flavour emulsion, which should hold for a minimum of 6 months.

TOTAL FLAVOUR EMULSION MEASUREMENT: 65ml

If emulsification is successful, continue to:

STEP 2: Concentrate

For easy mailout and long-distance production into cola syrup with the local addition of sugar and water.

To your 65ml emulsion, add

195 ml double strength caramel colouring (DD Williamson Caramel 050)

In a mortar and pestle, dissolve

65 ml citric acid (use a metric measuring spoon) in 100ml water.

This should dissolve easily. When it's clear add

18ml caffeine (seive in through a tea strainer) Mix the caffeine in thoroughly, it will take 5-10 minutes to dissolve. The mixture may behave erratically, turning either white or clear for no apparant reason.

Pass through muslin or jelly bag to remove any anomalies.

Add the citric/caffeine solution to the caramel/flavour emulsion. This is your cola concentrate (total measurement 365ml / equivalent to 117L eventual cola).

To subdivide the concentrate into manageable quantities, please consult the following table.

Step 3: The Cola Syrup

• 2L water (any)
• 1.5KG silver spoon sugar
• 56ml Cube-Cola concentrate

Make a sugar syrup (ie. mix in a cooking pot on low heat to speed dissolve) with 1.5L of the water and all of the sugar. Filter if unsure.

Mix the cola concentrate into the remaining 500 ml water. Then add the sugar syrup, which can be used to rinse out the concentrate jar to ensure full inclusion. You now have approximately 3L Cube-Cola syrup.

or an eventual 18L Cube-Cola.

Step 4: The Cola

As required, make up your cola as a 5:1 mix, 5 parts fizzy water to 1 part cola syrup. We currently use 350 ml syrup in a 2L bottle of Tesco Ashford Mountain Spring.

History

Cube-Cola was derived via 2 years' production and alteration of the Open Cola? recipe which was a little harder to follow...

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is 
not allowed.
Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, 
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software–to 
make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free 
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free 
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply 
it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are 
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this 
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the 
software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask 
you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the 
recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 
code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which 
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there 
is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want 
its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others 
will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that 
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program 
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free 
use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

1.        This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright 
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any 
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is 
included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are 
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is 
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by 
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

2.        You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in 
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright 
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the 
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the 
Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty 
protection in exchange for a fee.

3.        You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based 
on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, 
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a.        You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files 
and the date of any change.

b.        You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is 
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties 
under the terms of this License.

c.        If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when 
started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement 
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you 
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the 
user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not 
normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an 
announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not 
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, 
then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate 
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, 
the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees 
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely 
by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective 
works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work 
based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 
the scope of this License.

4.        You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code 
or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the 
following:

a.        Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be 
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software 
interchange; or,

b.        Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a 
charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable 
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a 
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c.        Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source 
code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program 
in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an 
executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the 
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is 
normally distributed (in either source o binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so 
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the 
executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, 
then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the 
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5.        You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided 
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, 
and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, 
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties 
remain in full compliance.

6.        You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else 
grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program 
(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its 
terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

7.        Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient 
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program 
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' 
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 
this License.

8.        If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other 
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of 
this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License 
and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For 
example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who 
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this 
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the 
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims 
or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of 
the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have 
made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on 
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to 
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this 
License.

9.        If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by 
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this 
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that 
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License 
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

10.     The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License 
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in 
detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this 
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and 
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the 
Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the 
Free Software Foundation.
NO WARRANTY

11.     If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution 
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by 
the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. 
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free 
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY

11.     BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT 
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER 
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, 
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE 
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE 
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12.     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR 
ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR 
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR 
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE 
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
