Essential Oils versus Extracts (Keto Cola, round 1)

(Mark) #1

I have a goal, and it should be pretty clear from the title. I miss my Coca Cola, Coke Zero, etc.

So, there exists an episode of This American Life (we’re all podcast listeners here right?) about “The Recipe”. My concern is that the recipe calls for fruit oils, and I’ve got no idea how to tell or trust buying those. Should I just go for an extract, or look at getting an essential oil and diluting per the recipe? The recipe uses alcohol, so it makes sense to me that it would be an essential oil, not an extract.

Assuming I can figure out where (I live in Canada btw) I can trust a source of materials, I’ll start testing and hopefully have a couple of base recipe ideas to post.
