Ingredients

* A caffeine source: anhydrous caffeine powder can also be ordered in bulk, but don’t go overboard!
* Flavorings: Try Capella Flavor Drops as they have many flavorings to choose from.
* Taurine: This can be bought as a powder or a liquid, but the powder is much cheaper.
* B vitamins: I would recommend ordering a liquid B vitamin complex.
* Glucuronolactone: This comes in powder form.
* Herbs: Now this is where you can be creative, but this can also get expensive to purchase the liquid extracts of herbs as you don’t want a salad floating in your homemade energy drink, now do you? Suggestions; Ginseng Liquid and Ginko Biloba Liquid.
* Sweetners: Here you can dissolve table sugar in some hot water or use sucralose or stevia if you want it sugar free.
* Carbonated water: You can just buy this pre-made or try making your own which is explained below.

Now here is the fun part in constructing your taylor made energy drink. Why not use a can of Rockstar or similar as your rough guide, but feel free to experiment with amounts. It would be handy to have a metric food scale on hand to measure out all the ingredients.

Be careful with the caffeine powder and probably to be safe use no more than 200g at a time unless you are a Beverage Cooler Slave. The caffeine has to be dissolved in boiling water, which would be recommended for any powders you are using in your homemade drink.

As for the carbonated water you can make your own easily by using a soda siphon and soda siphon charger cartridges. In the long run this works out cheaper than buying pre-made and you will have a fresh supply each time.

So make a concentrate using a small amount of boiling water, into which, mix in your caffeine, taurine, sugar, flavor etc.. Then add your seltzer water a little at a time until you have a great tasting ratio. You may have to make a few attempts to get your homemade energy drink just right, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
