The great thing about being in love with tea, is finding new ways to enjoy it. I appreciate that it’s a medicinal powerhouse, but I mostly enjoy everything else about it, that part’s just a bonus. The ritual, the smells, the texture, and the creativity. Recently a friend inspired a pepsi challenge. Well more of a Dr. Pepper challenge really. You see, she’s a bit of a Dr.P drinker and I thought it’d be fun to try and make a tea that would taste the same. No sugar, no HFC, and no whatever else is in there we don’t want to talk about.
The folks at Dr.P are all pretty hush hush about the 23 magic ingredients, but a little web searching offered lots of speculation and a place for me to start. Here’s some picts of my first attempt. I made it double strength and added some bubbly water for the fizzy effect. It actually turned out pretty close. I’m still working out some of the flavors, think I’m gonna have to break down and buy a can, it’s been a while. But I’m pretty confident I can do it.
I’ll wait till I get it just right before I post all the ingredients, but what do you think should go in there?
Oh I cannot wait to see how this turns out! I have NO CLUE what would be in it!! Sugar? haha!
I could KISS you right now!
Torture! Did you find a good recipe? I'm dying to try this!!!
Any updates to this? I have Dr Pepper addiction I would love to wing my self off it.
I’m waiting too!! I’m going to email them and tell them it’s a popular idea. Better than having us all just finally go COLD TURKEY on the bubble water…
