Can We Clone The Doctor? Dr Pepper Recipe Hack Episode

Video Description

Can We Clone The Doctor? This is going to be tough… There are (as the bottle says) 23 flavours in Dr Pepper; but what are they? The internet is full of theories, and lists; some of them make sense and some of them don’t. I have to admit - most of the lists contain ‘flavours’ that are compound flavours like ‘cola’ and ‘Root Beer’ so I don’t know how much I trust them. There is also a formula book that surfaced from the Old Corner Drugstore in Waco Texas where Dr Pepper was invented. It contains a formula for ‘Dr Peppers Pepsin Bitters’ - but the handwriting is is scribbled that no-one can agree what it says. Here is our first on-camera attempt: Ingredients: 1L (4 cups) water 175g dried prunes 130g raspberries 2 vanilla beans, split 15g dry wintergreen leaves 8g whole cloves 2g peppercorns 20g chopped ginger 2.5g ground nutmeg 2g (around 10 pods) cardamom 6g cinnamon stick 4 juniper berries 3g cut and sifted wild cherry bark 3g liquorice bark 3g sarsaparilla 2g cut and sifted gentian root 800g sugar 10g citric acid 15 mL molasses 30 mL pure almond extract 10 mL cherry extract 5 mL lemon extract 5 mL orange extract 2 mL star anise extract Method: In a saucepan, combine the water, fruit, spices, and herbs. Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat and add the cherry bark, liquorice bark, sarsaparilla, and gentian root. Let steep for 30 to 45 minutes. Strain out the solid ingredients and return the water to the saucepan. Add the sugar, citric acid and molasses and heat until dissolved. Remove the syrup from the heat. Stir in the extracts. 45mL of syrup mixed into 350 mL of soda water is a great place to start - you can adjust based on your tastes.
