[paragraph break]Neroli is a very expensive item, be prepared (US$48.52 for 5.00 ml).
[paragraph break]All others were a more reasonable price (US$2-9.30).
[paragraph break]Gum Arabic: It is very important that you get only food-grade Gum Arabic. There is also an art-grade, which is readily available at art supply stores - never use art-grade Gum Arabic! Art-grade Gum Arabic is toxic. It will make you ill. You'll be sad. We'll be sad."
"For the syrup, be careful and know what you're doing if you choose phosphoric acid!"

Inside are plaques that tell you how to make the different parts of the elixir known as OpenSoda elixir! Eventually, other parchments and plaques will be made for the variations that certain people are making.'";
say "Oils can cause skin irritation. Wear latex food-prep or surgical gloves. If oils come in contact with skin, wash with soap and water.
[paragraph break]I purchased all oils from health food stores and the herbalist store, Thuna's (see notes on gum arabic).
[paragraph break]Everything could have come from the herbalist's. Try for 100 percent pure, undiluted oils
[paragraph break]It is very important that you get only food-grade Gum Arabic. There is also an art-grade, which is readily available at art supply stores – never use art-grade Gum Arabic! Art-grade Gum Arabic is toxic. It will make you ill.
[paragraph break]It's best not to store caffeine in any amount. Caffeine can kill people in relatively small doses. The median lethal dose for an adult human is around 10 grams, or approximately one third of an ounce. You can find out more by reading the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for caffeine at http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/c0165.htm. Don't yeild to the temptation to create a 'Super-Jolt' , adding tons and tons of the white stuff to your cola, our you'll be in a world of hurt. If stored, store in a secure area away from children. Toxic by inhalation and ingestion: If inhaled, remove to fresh air, If ingested, call a physician. Possible teratogen and mutagen. If product comes in contact with the eyes, flush with plenty of water. There is some great information on caffeine and it's over-consumption at http://www.thecaffeinepage.com. Caffeine is completely optional. I used part of a caffeine pill (MVP, www.mvpnutrition.com), ground up in a pestle with a mortar. According to information on the pill bottle and on the Web site, the pills are 100% caffeine. As an extra safety precaution, I strained all of the syrup through a 4-ply of cheesecloth, in case any of the caffeine wasn't dissolved.
[paragraph break]Due to its acidity, phosphoric acid product is corrosive to the eyes and skin. Handle with gloved hands, and use extreme caution. If comes in contact with the eyes or skin, immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Rinse any spills on clothing or other surfaces thoroughly. Store in a secure area. Do not store more than 50.0 ml.";

say "Making soft drinks is not for the faint of heart, nor the dirty of finger. It is a solemn enterprise not to be entered into lightly, as with marriage or buying used farm machinery.
[paragraph break]With any food-prep, failure to observe basic hygienic principles, follow directions, and exercise common sense can have grave consequences. OpenCola assumes no liability for any problems that arise out of the use of this document. Proceed at your own risk. No one's putting a gun to your head, so don't bother if you can't boil water.
[paragraph break]Improper use of cola might result in blunt trauma, puncture wounds, physical illness, mental illness, caffeine
[paragraph break]dependency, dental necrosis, acid reflux, death, devastation, and random tax audits. Or it might not.
[paragraph break]A list of warnings has been provided below. We did not include them for our health - we included them for yours.
[paragraph break]Read them. Know them. Follow them. Tattoo them to your backside.
[paragraph break]Just in case you have any doubt: following the directions below may be hazardous to your health and property. You assume any and all risk arising from the manufacture and consumption of cola.
[paragraph break][bold type]An important note:[roman type] this is not the recipe for 'OpenCola' - that is, the canned beverage from OpenCola that you may have received at a trade show, or other venue or outlet. Making canned cola requires millions of dollars in abstruse gear and manufacturing gizmos. It's easier to make nerve gas than manufacture cola. This is a kitchensink recipe that you can make all on your own. It is our kitchen-sink recipe. We figured it out somewhere between coding the COLA SDK and debugging the Linux build of the clerver.
[paragraph break]Anyway, we've tried to be nice about the disclaimer. If it's not good enough for you, here's what our lawyers have to say about the whole shootin' match.
