~2 kg (!) of sugar to just ~2 liters of water? I know there's a lot of sugar in cola, but that just seems like ... a lot. After some googling, I'm guessing it

~2 kg (!) of sugar to just ~2 liters of water? I know there's a lot of sugar in cola, but that just seems like ... a lot.
After some googling, I'm guessing it's off by an order of magnitude and it should be 0.236 kg of sugar ...
- DanBC 13y agoThat's to make a concentrate syrup. You then add carbonated water to it to make the actual drink!
- lobster_johnson 13y agoThe recipe is correct. The concentrated syrup is 50% sugar by weight, but it's mixed 5:1 with carbonated water, so you end up with about 100g of sugar per liter of finished soda, which is pretty much the same as in commercial Coca-Cola.
