On a side note a lot of honey sold in stores are mixed with corn syrup to stretch out the honey so read the labels on the honey. You probably want raw honey if you want to avoid the honey scam that mass produced honey does.
If i had a nickle for every time i heard about a business practice that was straight up illegal anywhere *but* the USA, i could buy Amazon. The Company, not Prime.
In europe the cheap honey is mixed with a kind of sugar water from china, because they tread their honey like this. But it definetly has less flavour because of this. So for europe, look if the label says something abt honey from not european countries. Go save and use lokal honey just like chef here. ✌
As a casual meadmaker I can definitively say that when you caramelise honey (any honey) you change its flavour dramatically and you drive off most if not all of the subtler aromatic compounds. Instead you end up with a lot more of the caramelly, marshmellowy qualities that all caramelised sugars have. There are still unique compounds that only honey has, but for the most part the difference between cheap or expensive, or even varietal honeys like orange blossom are cut down signifficantly.
Senku cola was the first of your videos that I ever watched, it's really what got me hooked on the channel to begin with! So cool seeing it make a return!
As someone who used to brew mead, what type of flowers the bees were getting pollen from will have a great influence on the flavor of the honey. When you brew mead, yeast can eat ALL the sugar, leaving you with only the flavor of the flower in the end drink (and alcohol, of course). Most grocery store honey is clover honey, It's cheap, light, and has very little flavor outside of the sugar, just a little "grassy" note to it. Wildflower honey, on the other hand, will be DARK, heavily floral, very thick, and have a caramel/molasses quality to it. Senku would have only had access to wildflower honey.
Honey usually are added with some other substances like sugar, corn syrup, and and sweetener , why? Because pure honey was actually expensive,a expensive kind of honey usually had less substitude , somewhere 70-80% honey ,cheaper version of honey are way lower in honey , which are about half or 60% honey Well we had pure honey in Malaysia, bottled straight out of farm, but is 2 times the market price One way to test the honey was We pour the honey in to a sealable bottle, dissolve with water and start shaking, stop and the better version of honey will had a white kind of bubble foam floating after the extreme shake Now what i wonder is, if instead if caramelized honey, we create the senku coke with just same ingredients but shake everything well, what would be the outcome?
Don't cook the lime and cilantro. It doesn't bring anything to the recipe and you actually lose some of their flavour and more importantly the colour. Just make your lime, cilantro mixture, caramelise your honey and when it's done, cool down with the sparkling water and then add the lime/ cilantro mix and ice cubes. You'll get something much fresher and bright. The lime and cilantro flavour will not be cooked out.
If you cool it with sparkling water it will no longer be carbonated. Adding the lime and cilantro off direct heat should be fine but if you're still worried just cool the honey and then mix in the juice mix. Don't add carbonated water to the hot honey, that's a bad idea if you're trying to make soda.
You may or may not see this, but in case you do, I think you'll appreciate it. Name of the game here is Oleo-saccharum. 1) Use a peeler to remove the zest from the limes, but avoid peeling down to the white pith. 2) Place the peels into a bowl and use only enough granulated sugar to cover them. Let them sit for 6hrs, or until the majority of the oils have been pulled from the peel. 3) In a separate pot, boil enough water for your soda, and empty the contents of the sugar/lime zest bowl into the pot. Cook for about 5mins or until the sugar melts. 4) Strain out the peels, add the lime juice to the water, and let it cool. Then proceed to make your Senku Cola recipe. This method will maximize the lime flavor by adding essential oils. You could also opt to blend dried cilantro into a powder, and use a tea diffuser with the lime water for more intense cilantro flavor throughout. The longer the steep, the more flavor you get. Keep in mind: dried herbs are more potent than fresh.
I started to follow you after i watch the first version of the Senku cola. I was in Dr Stone a lot at that time. This is really fun that you try again a few years later!
Pro tip: sugars extract flavors. Granulated sugar would be better but I believe honey will work. The drink needs salt anyway so if honey doesn’t work salt will and will do a much better job of extracting the flavor from the zest
If I ever get my food truck up and running I would love for you to try some of my stuff if were ever in the same area. I'm wanting to make hand crafted sodas and teas as the drinks (still debating coffee stuff but who knows what the future holds)
I'm really curious as to the intended lime and whetheer that's a translation choice made for a lime-adjacent fruit that isn't common outside of Japan, like Sudachi or Kabosu. Could be interesting to compare and see if one of them is a more accurate cola flavor.
chefpk im turning 17 on the 16th of april and i love to cook but i don’t have a good knife is there any cooking knife you’d recommend that are somewhat affordable? (i love your videos) ❤
I know I'm not ChefPK, but two good 8" chef knives to look at are Victorinox Fibrox pro and Mercer Genesis they should be $50-$60. They'll take a beating and last a while.
Watched both your videos, found the original first 🤙 However, I wonder if the Japanese translation for Cilantro is incorrect. Coriander is from the same plant and is actually the fruit produced after flowering. And as most bottled cola are made from the Kola nut, it makes sense to be closer in flavor. I Grew cilantro this year to try it out. And the cilantro leaves, as you used in both videos tastes alright, but not like Cola. Where as using fresh coriander taste like half way between RC cola & Coke!
Note, I used fresh coriander here. The flavor difference between fresh and dried coriander is rather vast. So I wouldn't assume dry coriander from the store would work.
if you want greener drinks just caramelize the honey and dont add the green mixture to the honey. green turns brown after it becomes exposed to heat/cooking rather quickly.
46g of sugar? Please tell me this is per litre and not 100ml. This sounds deeply disgusting otherwise. For reference in germany all softdrinks will cap at 10-12g sugar (not carbohydrates) per 100ml
ngl I'm curious though how a full premium version would work; so organic cilantro and limes with the high grade honey vs their standard counterparts. Would that cause a better impact or would it wind up more of the same?
is it really cheaper though. the honey from the store is 10$ but there is more in it meanwhile the other one you have to drive there every time, order food, which is probably more expensive than the honey and then you get less honey
@@CHEFPKR it totally does though, because that jar of honey is going to be a useful piece of your kitchen for a long time. If you were using it exclusively for these colas, you could make a LOT of batches out of it. It's actually what, 20 cents of honey per cola with the jar?
Oh I can leave, but I stay to support. If I can stay for a thing that tastes like soap for me then I can finish a video with a like before I even start it. Edit: this probably only sounded coherant while still in my head
you only put like 4 spoons of it, it's not 10 $ to be fair :D also the other one, just because you got it free, it might cost the restaurants more, they take a loss on it, just to provide it with the food, it's kind of common that soy sauce or other sauces are way higher quality than everything else on the menu. 10 dollar honey is pretty good. but if it's runny, I don't trust it. I drink my coffee with honey, years and years ago. for price point, the UK price cheapest decent honey is around 3.5£/kg, generally 454 gramms for like 1.4£. a bunch of companies show videos of them doing honey, but their lower price one is not the same. not organic, not raw, in europe, generally they also write 'made of eu and non eu honey' or something. to be fair, east europe I could get a jar for like 3£ a kilogram, or pakistan had his online site selling for like 1.5£ a kg. good, natural, raw, organic honey is around 12-13£ a kg in uk that's like 15+ dollar, not sure on the conversion. runny honey? acacia is runny and a few others but I don't like them, generally in my experience, good honey is set or soft set or crystalized. in the uk, the best ones I got were estonian raw honey, polish honey, there was some mexican one, kinda weird, but amazon sells it. best uk one is Rowse, and their set honey can be 9-10£ a kg and it's really good, but their normal convenience store honey is just 2x price and nothing special. as for the type, I'm totally for wildflower, tastes best for the coffee or tea and probably juices. is there a difference? hell yeah. does it worth it? not entirely sure, I'm fine with lidl or tesco set honey, but it's evident that it's just sugar and doesn't even smell like honey. at least not corn syrup.
Let's be real, if Senku was real he wouldn't be carbonating the water with a water wheel, he'd be brewing something alcoholic. He'd make a wet mead instead of a cola 😂

100% this! That why I think if you make this soda, it's actually better to use a touch of hot water to help dilute the cold honey and then add that in
@@CHEFPKR Also as a meadmaker for the last 20+ years just letting you know that the term for caramelized honey is bochet.
Senku cola was the first of your videos that I ever watched, it's really what got me hooked on the channel to begin with! So cool seeing it make a return!
I got into the channel the same way!
Dude same
im a simple man. i see a cat investigating things its not supposed to get into, and i open palm slam the like button
This feels full circle for me. Your Senku Cola video was the first video of yours I saw and it has been an amazing ride since then :)
0:45 caught me off guard 😂🤣
how lewd /childish giggle
An experiment I may preform with Senku Cola is switch the soda water for home made ginger beer.

My god has it been 3 years since the Senku cola video?! Time flies when you're playing with your food!
I am definitely going to try the cilantro lime as a marinate or a base ceviche marinate though.
Goated marinade with a touch of oil and chili's too
@@CHEFPKR ooo very nice i immedietely though of ceviche when i saw that haha but now im definitely making it a marinade

Literaly exactly the same for me
Senku cola is what got me into Chef PK originally. Love this.
I have heard that food rated cilantro seeds give a better result.
I still need to try this. Also this is the earliest I've ever been on a video on accident, so that's fun. Happy Saturday.
The lime censorship had me dying 🤣
I love seeing Gandolf low key he's become a big pet in the channel
i think the taste would depend on what kind of honey you use and where it came from. there are so many kinds of honey

I am making a senku soda today 🙏🏽👍🏽
Did it taste like lime soda water 😂
I love your videos
This had me thinking that a collab with @htme would be an interesting take on some food related adventures

That sound like it could use a single jalapeno and a wedge of an avacado to give the drink a creamy texture.
My god has it been 3 years since that video, someone tell time to SLOW THE HELL DOWN.
What does selantro do for it??
Can you use food color so it looks like normal cola am asking
I mean if u already have the honey
Considering this is a drink video, any chance you'll do anything based on BARTENDER: Glass of God this season?
You don't use that much of the spendy honey. It definitely comes out to less than 2$ a batch. Probably less than 1.50$
Right, but you still have to spend $10 to buy the honey. So to make this recipe, with this honey, you have to spend the money
I was just watching the older version to make my own today 😂
damm i will try make this one..
Can we use sweet lime to the make the cola?
Yep, no problem. You might have to adjust the honey
