Homemade Red Bull-Style Energy Drink (1 Quart)

⚡ Homemade Red Bull-Style Energy Drink (1 Quart)

🧪 Ingredients:

• Caffeine: 320 mg
  (e.g. 1–1.5 caffeine tablets, or equivalent brewed coffee/tea extract)

• Taurine: 4000 mg (4 grams)

• Vitamin B Complex: 1 full B-complex tablet (or use measured amounts of B3, B6, B12)

• Citric Acid: 1 tsp (for tartness and preservation)

• Sugar or Sweetener: 8 tbsp sugar (or equivalent in stevia, monk fruit, etc.)

• Carbonated Water: 1 quart (chilled)

• Natural Flavor (optional): 1–2 tsp fruit juice concentrate or 5–10 drops food-grade flavoring

• Coloring (optional): Small amount of food-safe dye (optional, just for appearance)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Mix the Concentrate: In about ½ cup of warm water, dissolve the taurine, caffeine, citric acid, crushed vitamin B tablet, and sweetener.

2. Combine with Carbonated Water: Slowly pour the concentrate into a pitcher with the 1 quart of chilled carbonated water. Stir gently to retain fizziness.

3. Add Flavor & Color (Optional): Mix in your chosen fruit essence or coloring.

4. Refrigerate or Serve Over Ice.

🧠 Tips:

• If using caffeine pills, crush and dissolve thoroughly.

• Store in a sealed bottle in the fridge to preserve carbonation (use within 2–3 days).

• Label the bottle clearly — high-caffeine drinks should be used with care.
