Can We Clone The Doctor? This is going to be tough… There are (as the bottle says) 23 flavours in Dr Pepper; but what are they? The internet is full of theories, and lists; some of them make sense and some of them don’t. I have to admit - most of the lists contain ‘flavours’ that are compound flavours like ‘cola’ and ‘Root Beer’ so I don’t know how much I trust them.
There is also a formula book that surfaced from the Old Corner Drugstore in Waco Texas where Dr Pepper was invented. It contains a formula for ‘Dr Peppers Pepsin Bitters’ - but the handwriting is is scribbled that no-one can agree what it says.
Here is our first on-camera attempt:

Ingredients:
1L (4 cups) water
175g dried prunes
130g raspberries
2 vanilla beans, split
15g dry wintergreen leaves
8g whole cloves
2g peppercorns
20g chopped ginger
2.5g ground nutmeg
2g (around 10 pods) cardamom
6g cinnamon stick
4 juniper berries
3g cut and sifted wild cherry bark
3g liquorice bark
3g sarsaparilla
2g cut and sifted gentian root
800g sugar
10g citric acid
15 mL molasses
30 mL pure almond extract
10 mL cherry extract
5 mL lemon extract
5 mL orange extract
2 mL star anise extract


Method:
In a saucepan, combine the water, fruit, spices, and herbs.
Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat and add the cherry bark, liquorice bark, sarsaparilla, and gentian root.
Let steep for 30 to 45 minutes.
Strain out the solid ingredients and return the water to the saucepan.
Add the sugar, citric acid and molasses and heat until dissolved.
Remove the syrup from the heat.
Stir in the extracts.

45mL of syrup mixed into 350 mL of soda water is a great place to start - you can adjust based on your tastes.
