Loved this video, please tackle the recipe for Surge soda! Coke has been teasing us with the recent limited return and it has now become very hard to find.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Glad you seen what I said. About lemon and nutmeg, I smell cinnamon though. About the fried chicken, the recipe is flour, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayeanne powder, salt, pepper and the chicken is dipped in butter milk and egg wash. Yes I looked at the chicken lol.
Out of curiosity if I were brazen enough to try this, could I replace the sugar with Stevia or some other sweetener? I know its generally said to use 1/4 stevia to the stated amount of sugar but would that possibly mess up the syrup or react with something else in the concentrate? I kind of loathe all the diet sodas and am tempted to just make my own.
I need a cola without the acids in it and yes I did call Coco Cola and asked them if they could make a cola without the Phosphoric acid and SHE said " we can't do that? They changed the formula years ago and screwed everything up and they can't do this for their customers? Corporate America Sucks. It just does!
I was legit blown away when he said 90 liters. Like... i make root beer at home. And im used to filling like... a pint/half-liter bottle with the syrup, or like, half that amount, before sugaring. And then quadrupling that syrup volume after dilution. So im looking at this pint of concentrate, thinking, "thats fairly expensive for a half gallon of cola..." Meanwhile, its actually for almost 24 gallons. AND it keeps for a long ass time, unlike the RB syrup which keeps for like... 2 weeks, maybe.

Glen, this series on colas has been fascinating to watch. Here's another wrinkle to nailing-THAT-cola-flavour that I think is often overlooked: flavour maturation. About 25 years ago some friends and I analyzed Coke (early/mid 1990s) with gas chromatography and found a number of compounds not covered by the raw ingredients and in quantities far greater than the essential oils could make up. Chief among them was isoamyl butyrate which led us to believe the syrup undergoes at least one (if not several) steps of fermentation. It would be interesting to test the pH and specific gravity of the syrup because I'm betting the conditions are perfect for a lactobacillus fermentation (and the bacteria may naturally occur in some of the ingredients, so possibly no need to introduce a culture). Many of the early soft drinks like root beer were yeast fermented (for both carbonation and flavour) so I don't think this process would be out of the question for Coca-Cola in it's early medicinal and soft drink forms. It would be interesting to compare a freshly mixed batch of the syrup to some that had been standing at room temperature for a few weeks (or even a few months) to see if auto-fermentation takes place. Keep up the great work!
This recipe is great. I tried it and I love it. Better than the original. I think it tastes like a mix of mezzo mix and coke with more depth in flavor. However I had to improvise as I didn't have all the ingriedients. I don't know the exact translation of double strengh caramel colouring so I used the in europe widely available E150c. My cola appears to be a bit darker than the cola in the end of the video. The second mod is 105 ml of guarana kola tea instead of kola extract and water in step2. I used 15g of ground guarana and 10g of ground kola nut. I infused it with 100ml hot (but not boiling) water and let it sit while mixing the emulsion. Filtered it with a coffee filter and funnel after I completed the emulsion and flushed the filter with the missing amount of water in order to get to 105ml. A bit more work than in the recipe but worked for me. I did some math and recalculated the sirup recipe to fit in a 1l bottle. The sugar sirup has a concentration of 64% by wheight. According to some online chart a 64% sugar sirup has a density of 1.3103g/l. I just used 817g of sugar, 467ml water and 20ml of the flavoring concentrate. Fits perfectly in a 1l coke bottle. I was able to mix it directly in the bottle. First add all the water and approx. half of the sugar. Shake until the sugar is dissolved then add the rest of the sugar and continue shaking. Don't forget to use gloves as the water needs to be quite hot for this to work
Pecuman Yes! This is exactly it. A lot of cooking channels I watch to get recipe ideas, but this is the only one I like where I have no real intention of following along, and this nails why that is. Such a clean, soothing presentation. Like visual ASMR.
As always, thanks Glen. I will most likely never make my own pop but hearing that sweet Ontario accent explaining how to do it is like music to my ears.
You should be able to find cane sugar Pepsi bottled in Canada in classic glass Pepsi bottles at Sobey’s, usually 4 for $4.99 in a cardboard carrier. These Pepsis have a totally different taste to the canned or even the “Throwback” variety Pepsi sold in the past. The cane sugar one tastes like what I grew up drinking in the 60s and 70s with a pronounced vanilla tone. Hopefully you can find it before your taste test :-). Totally enjoyed this series.
You can actually emulsify the oils in water if you use a kitchen blender on high for 10 to 15 minutes. I am a bee keeper and essential oils are at times used in feeding and in sprays when combining hive to reduce defensiveness. Also just for curiosity sake 2:1 sugar to water is what we feed up our bees in the late fall before winter after the honey supers are off.
I used your orange and the grapefruit one you did. Only added lemon and lime. Came out a lot like Squirt. Just what I was hoping for. Thanks for the inspiration
I just finished the video, went back and watched a couple of parts more than once to get better detail or just laugh at the banter with Jules, and had a blast. For the record... I'm not even interested in making my own cola!! Really enjoyable Glen, really enjoyable.
More interested in the Cola myself. Unless KFC Canada is run differently and they train their cooks a million times better, it's the same crap they sell in the States. As for the Cola, I'd be interested in sampling the finished product from a GLASS bottle but I'm sure it's too expensive for Glen and Friends to even sell locally unless he starts a business with friends let alone shipping it across the border. Honestly, I am curious about "homebrew" cola. I'm just not gonna make it in MY home because I'm not set up and I'm NOT that much of a masochist! Yeah, I'll leave this to the experts. I've found a lot of the smaller, bottled colas to taste better than Coke or (yuckier to me!) Pepsi. The pesky problem is that sugar content (generally better than 32g per bottle which is VERY high) which can get around 44g of cane sugar per bottle. I have to cut the sugar from my diet as low as possible so it's Coke only once in a VERY long while or if I eat out...
I just started making this. Got the essential oil blend mixed and the gum arrived today. Will continue and hopefully have it made and ready for sipping by the weekend.
Wow! Was just watching your other coke videos and this one popped up. Never watched your videos until the first coke video came up in my recommended today. Awesome content - keep it up!
After watching the last several videos and this one with you not only adding all these exotic ingredients but also the mixing methods it started to make me wonder why people started doing this in the first place in the 1800's. You are doing it because you know what your outcome is going to be, but why would they have done it? How did they ever imagine adding all this up would lead to such an interesting drink. So fascinating.
The people who sold you the essential oils: “I’m sure this is some anti-medical nut case!” Glenn in reality: *is painstakingly trying to recreate the CocaCola formula*
You deserve more subscribers sir, Your video’s quality is much better than many others with more subscribers, julia and you have a beautiful, warm and welcoming feel to your uploads, thank you
I attempted this recipe today. Spent over $100 on things & weeks of waiting for delivery , but I love Cola. Couldn't get the caramel colouring product from the video, used cheap extract instead. Also bought wrong Kola extract, so skipped that. Overall it has no color bit still tastes like a Cola. I will add Kola extract to my syrup later. Never use a drill in cooking before! Thanks again for the video.
Hello Glen! Thanks for all the recipes! I’m from Guadalajara, México, and it’s right, Jarritos coke is made here in México, but doesn’t sell in here, only for foreign markets. It’s cool to see you love Mexican cokes and pepsis, they actually taste better, and that’s because the amount of sugar added, here in Mexico no long ago that stuff wasn’t regulated by the government. It is now, so they use a bit less. Any way, keep up the great work and thanks again! Cheers!
New video title: “I used a drill to mix ingredients!” Given it was published yesterday, The TH-cam algorithm may push this to your top video, great job man!
I've been making the cube cola recipe since 2012, it's very drinkable. I'm going to have to try your spin. I use less flavored syrup per litre than the recipe calls for, because I find the flavor too cloying otherwise: backing off a bit makes it more refreshing IMO. I do still use the "whisk in electric drill" approach, but in hindsight I wonder if a stick blender wouldn't do an equally good job, and probably faster too. According to what I've learned, emulsion is all about shear, and I expect that a blender provides more shear than a drill. Btw a stick blender also works for mayonaisse.
I tried the stick blender / immersion blender -there didn't seem to be enough liquid to make it work. I also backed off on some of the concentrate to suit my tastes - I agree that it was a bit much at their recommended strength. I think that the vanilla and Kola extract also helped the flavour from the earlier cube/open cola tests I did. Thanks for watching!
At the end of this little series you should combine all of these videos into one mega video! Maybe add some commentary bits here and there about the entire process. I'd watch the whole thing over again
I wonder if that flavoring could be added to ice cream as a topping or something… I can think of two general approaches: Make a syrup to drizzle on top, or make a thicker syrup or jelly to add as a “swirl” in the source container of ice cream. Then, there's always the root beer float approach, but that's too obvious.
Glen, I'm a BIG cola drinker. Other flavors are nice, Barq's Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc. etc... But, there's something about Cola I just can't resist. I've NEVER seen Jarrito's Cola! And I'm really curious about Thumbs Up Cola! I have however, tried the rest you displayed. I LOVE the RC Cola, but, I'm still partial to the Mexican Coca Cola!
I typed galway girl on TH-cam and your channel pops up, I don’t know who you are or what you do but now I don’t care about Galway girl cause I’m now subscribed to your channel
My results: Wasn't able to get powdered Gum Arabic, but substituted with Tapioca Starch. It took more effort to keep the oil emulsified, but it worked. May look into Xanthan Gum at another time. Couldn't get the caramel colour/flavour agent, or the kola nut extract. Other than that the final result was a success.
And I have never seen it here in Baja, México. It is not a very popular brand except for the states in central México so that might be a reason. Hell, Jarritos in cristal bottles are nowhere to be seen here but walk a few minutes to California and they have them... odd hahahaha.
Hey Glen and Julie! I absolutely love the way you plug future videos by hiding "Easter eggs" in your current uploads for us to question! It's a great unique little flavour you've got there keep it going! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glen, where did you purchase your essential oils from? I know you finally chose one company over others based on price or quality. I've got a carbonator rig ready for your recipe!
That could be an idea, sell it at a flea market or something. People can bring their own container, Glen could fill them up with syrup and soda water, mix it up, seal it, and slap on a Le Gourmet Soda logo.
6:07 Hmm Glen doesn't say it's not real coca extract... 🤔. Also Glen can we use a hand blender with the whisk attachment or is the drill method the way to go for mixing?.
The way I understood Glen in the video the drill was needed because it has a much higher speed than a standard hand mixer and that speed was needed to emulsify everything. But I'm curious too if a power drill is actually needed.
@@soundgarden01 😂 I've been reading through all the comments to see what everyone has to say. Glen's comment wasn't there for me because I had the comment loaded before they made theirs. But hey, looks like I was right with what I inferred from the video.
This is all kinds of awesome! I don't drink coca cola anymore since joining the keto wave but the Mexican coca cola has a special place in my heart. Pepsi should never be mentioned in the same breath as coke.

Then, there's always the root beer float approach, but that's too obvious.
Hi Glen! Been watching your videos religiously for a while and absolutely love them!
Wow, didn’t know Richard Dawkins inherited the bartender gene.
LMAO
kristine rustan I usually never find the “oh can’t believe ‘blank’ is now doing ’blank’” thing too funny. However this was too good
You stole my joke! You wrote it first though haha
Looking like a mad scientist. Love your videos!!
Hey glen can you link where to get the ingredients? Especially the oil
Would be great! 😃
Of course I like it, man if you enjoy making that experiences keep blowing this up! Just love it! And I wanna be like you in a feel years.
I LOVE IT
Glen, I'm a BIG cola drinker. Other flavors are nice, Barq's Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, etc. etc... But, there's something about Cola I just can't resist. I've NEVER seen Jarrito's Cola! And I'm really curious about Thumbs Up Cola! I have however, tried the rest you displayed. I LOVE the RC Cola, but, I'm still partial to the Mexican Coca Cola!
Have you tried the Dr Pepper made in one plant in Dublin, TX that uses cane sugar instead of HFCS? Habit-forming.
I typed galway girl on TH-cam and your channel pops up, I don’t know who you are or what you do but now I don’t care about Galway girl cause I’m now subscribed to your channel
Thank you for amazing content
I have no idea how I discovered this channel but I absolutely love it

This man, an intellectual:

When you have the same vocabulary as Karl Pilkington
Wow, absolutely fascinating video. I don't even drink cola, or soda really, but this is pretty cool!
Glenn: "Pay no attention to the fried chicken!"
Me: You tease!
My results:
Wasn't able to get powdered Gum Arabic, but substituted with Tapioca Starch. It took more effort to keep the oil emulsified, but it worked. May look into Xanthan Gum at another time.
Couldn't get the caramel colour/flavour agent, or the kola nut extract.
Other than that the final result was a success.
Cant..look..away..from..chicken
Lol
The "PFK" really threw me for a loop there. Poulet Frit Kentucky - Kentucky Fried Chicken in French. Fascinating.
We get the Jarritos Cola in Australia. Its the best
At the super mex markets around here you can get jarritos super cheap too.
And I have never seen it here in Baja, México. It is not a very popular brand except for the states in central México so that might be a reason.
Hell, Jarritos in cristal bottles are nowhere to be seen here but walk a few minutes to California and they have them... odd hahahaha.
Have them here in Texas, too.
Finland too.
New zealand aswell
Hey Glen and Julie! I absolutely love the way you plug future videos by hiding "Easter eggs" in your current uploads for us to question! It's a great unique little flavour you've got there keep it going!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glen, where did you purchase your essential oils from? I know you finally chose one company over others based on price or quality. I've got a carbonator rig ready for your recipe!
Probably one of my favorite channels out there so far, great content

I love that he uses a drill to whisk things. I have done it too
You need to sell your soda. I'm in Toronto, I'd buy some.
That's a good idea.
That could be an idea, sell it at a flea market or something. People can bring their own container, Glen could fill them up with syrup and soda water, mix it up, seal it, and slap on a Le Gourmet Soda logo.
Kinkajou1015 I wouldn’t want people to use their own containers for sanitary/health regulation reasons. But yeah I’d buy some.
If it really tastes like the old coke and is sweet, I'd buy some too from our capital ;)
I'd like some here in Montreal as well.
Like your food grade whisk too! 👌
"That coke is more pleasant" while their eyes were dilated
The er, kentucky upload sounds Uber exciting....this channel is fantastic.. I absolutely love it. Amazing.
I was wondering at what stage in the process would you add in other flavors while making the syrup like if I wanted to make cherry cola?
I could watch you make cola all day, awesome stuff here!
6:07 Hmm Glen doesn't say it's not real coca extract... 🤔. Also Glen can we use a hand blender with the whisk attachment or is the drill method the way to go for mixing?.
Hand blender just isn't powerful enough, you need faster and more powerful tools.
The way I understood Glen in the video the drill was needed because it has a much higher speed than a standard hand mixer and that speed was needed to emulsify everything. But I'm curious too if a power drill is actually needed.
@@Kinkajou1015 he replied above you 😁
@@soundgarden01 😂 I've been reading through all the comments to see what everyone has to say. Glen's comment wasn't there for me because I had the comment loaded before they made theirs. But hey, looks like I was right with what I inferred from the video.
I love your mixer brother. Ive got one in my tool bag too.
best part: julia joins for tasting!!
This is how you advertise a product, not through an advertisement before a TH-cam video.
You got any food in there? Lmao I love her hahaha
This is all kinds of awesome! I don't drink coca cola anymore since joining the keto wave but the Mexican coca cola has a special place in my heart. Pepsi should never be mentioned in the same breath as coke.
Video: Kinda like making mayonnaise.
Me: *searches how to make mayonnaise
Thanks Glen, really been enjoying the videos you've been putting out
Glen: Don't look at that chicken!
Me: Looks at the chicken lol
Can't wait for root beer it's my fave! :D
Thumbs up 2L bottles are now sold in Calgary at some Asian markets. I got addicted to it when I was in India.
