Heatwave is here so let's make a refreshing carb drink.First woter.
Then sodium bicarbonate
Then citric acid
CombineShop's closed so i had to adapt
Let it react
>makes alka celser in his kitchen like a pooris this the depths of the european century of humilitation
why not using real lemon juice instead of citric acid?pic related is basically the same thing but with malic acid instead of citric acid, plus lemon extract or something lemony.
>>22069825>in his kitchenActually i'm in the atrium. And i'm not making Alka‑Seltzer.
>>22069851Easier to make sodium citrate with citric acid.
Obviously it's easierif you have sodium citrate on handNext evaporate the water
Some nice salts, should be sodium citrate
Now the actual refreshing carb drink partGet something like 360g sucrose
I went for 10% sucrose weight in glucose syrup, so 36gHelps agains recrystallization
Fill with woter to aroung 0.5L, a little less
Measure around 20g of sodium citrate
Boil, to dissolve the carbs
Add the sodium citrate and dissolve
Let's flavour this drink, i chose vanilla
You can also pour an espresso, goes crazy good with vanilla, but i'm already tight with liquids, so caffeine pill it isGet a bottle and empty the pill in the bottle
Perfectly refreshing and energizing carb drink.396g carbs 200mg caffeinegreat for later in the day
>>22069914I forgot>20g of sodium citrate >which should make around 5.3g of sodium
It's going to be sunny and hot, so let's make another just in case
>>22069854bodied that freak
I don't care about the meme 1:0.8 glucose fructose ratio, 1:1 works wonders it's just it'll recrystallize without and don't want to invert the sugars as it lowers the glycemic index a bit.
Went for raspberry flavour and no caffeine, as this will be for the morning
I'm a bit retarded and got two bottles of the same colour so different flavours help differentiate the caffeine having one with the otherTotals:1l liquid792g carbs200mg caffeine for later in the day40g sodium citrate => around 10.6g sodiumReady to tackle the heat Lovely
>Flat carbs and caffeine drinkWhat are you getting out of this compared to the closest store bought product? Just making due while shop's closed?
>>22069956Price and less wasteI was out of sodium citrate so had to adapt
>>22069950>2lbs of sugar per literYou missing a decimal there bro?
>>22069851I used those in undergrad to make the shitty corroded dorm tapwater not taste like 200 year old Massachusetts lead pipes because I was too lazy to walk out to the water bottle filler in the hallway outside the suite
>>22069851>dies of high blood pressure
>>22069914>396g carbsholy crap
>>22069987It sounds unbelievable but it could be true>In the case of sugar and water, this process works so well that up to 1800 grams of sucrose can dissolve in a liter of water.https://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch18/soluble.php
>>22070449just enough to stay on keto
Still no signs recrystallization Let's goo >>22069987792g is a bit less than 907g but yeah no decimal missed bro>>22070449How many carbs per hour for you?>>22070456It's going to be hot, but not keeping 1,8kg sucrose dissolved in 1L water at room temp hot
>>22070761If you were American you'd be a meth cook
I thought it was gonna be a crab drink
>>22070761Isn't that around 3200 kcals?
Any chance of a volume ratio of baking soda to citric acid? I bought citric acid already to throw in with those 20L cannister drink mixes.
What's the optimal ratio of citric acid to sodium bicarbonate?
>>22070894Same. Came to voice my disappointment.
Happy to report no recrystallization on both bottles>>22070790Let's get cooking!>>22070898A bit less yeah>>22070918Just get sodium citrate, i was short on time, so i had to come up with a quick solution>>22071019Depends on what you want to achieve
>>22070761That's a fairly small amount of carbs for an average sized person, I'd say?
