Will this succeed?

會成功嗎？

Whoa.

哇。

I think I might be on my way

我想我可能要去了

to making Crystal Pepsi tonight.

今晚要做水晶百事可樂。

Ah, Crystal Pepsi, the blast from the past

啊，水晶百事可樂，從過去的爆炸。

that just won't leave the public conscience.

就是不會離開公眾的良心。

Or at least it won't leave mine.

或者至少它不會離開我的。

It was first produced for a few years in the early '90s,

90年代初，它第一次生產了幾年。

which is also when I was first produced.

這也是我第一次生產的時候。

And it's had a few limited runs since,

而後又有了一些限量的運行。

most notably one in 2016.

最值得一提的是2016年的一次。

But now, in 2020, in spite of massive public demand,

但現在，在2020年，儘管公眾有大量需求。

(crickets chirping)

（蟋蟀的鳴叫）

Crystal Pepsi is nowhere to be found.

水晶百事可樂不見蹤影。

Which leaves me with no choice but to make it myself.

這讓我別無選擇，只能自己做。

(dramatic music)

咍

So the way I see it, there are two major methods

所以在我看來，主要有兩種方法

I can go about trying to make Crystal Pepsi.

我可以去嘗試做水晶百事可樂。

And I'm gonna refer to these as the top down method

我把這些稱為 "自上而下法

and the bottom up method.

和自下而上的方法。

The top down method means taking a bottle of Pepsi

由上而下的方法是指拿一瓶百事可樂

and trying to remove the color from it

並試圖去除其中的顏色

without removing its flavor.

不去其味。

And that's what I'm gonna try first.

這就是我首先要嘗試的。

But if that fails,

但如果失敗了。

I will have to resort to the bottom up method,

我只好採用自下而上的方法。

which means making cola myself from scratch.

這意味著自己從頭開始做可樂。

I compared the ingredients of Crystal Pepsi

我比較了水晶百事可樂的成分

and regular Pepsi, and it seems the main difference

和普通的百事可樂，似乎主要的區別是

is that Crystal Pepsi does not contain

是水晶百事可樂不含

the caramel coloring that regular Pepsi does.

普通百事可樂的焦糖色。

So if we can get that caramel coloring out of Pepsi,

如果我們能把百事可樂裡的焦糖色素拿出來的話。

we should be left with Crystal Pepsi.

我們應該留下水晶百事可樂。

But I have no idea how to do any of that,

但我不知道怎麼做這些。

so I'm gonna do some research first.

所以我要先做一些研究。

(dynamic music)

(動感音樂)

So I found a couple of people that have

所以我找到了幾個人，有

tried to take the color out of Pepsi.

試圖把百事可樂的顏色。

And it seems like all of them have a relatively similar way.

而且好像他們的方式都比較相似。

They add something to the Pepsi

他們為百事可樂添加了一些東西

that separates the caramel from the rest of the cola.

將焦糖與可樂的其他部分分開。

What they use is...

他們用的是...

They use milk, whole milk, and Pepsi.

他們用牛奶、全脂牛奶和百事可樂。

Yum.

百勝。

Let's go shopping.

我們去購物吧

(groovy music)

(時髦的音樂)

I'm gonna put my lab coat on

我要去穿上我的實驗室外套

'cause it's time to do science.

因為現在是做科學的時候了。

All right, now that I'm a scientist, legally,

好吧，現在我是一個科學家，在法律上。

I don't have a PhD or a doctorate,

我沒有博士，也沒有博士學位。

barely have a bachelor's degree, it's in film,

勉強有一個學士學位，它是在電影。

but I have the mindset of a scientist.

但我有科學家的思維方式。

I've watched a few videos of people doing this

我看過一些視頻，有人這樣做的

and it always looks very gross.

而且它總是看起來很噁心。

So I'm gonna do it.

所以我要去做。

All this involves is pouring whole milk into Pepsi.

這一切都需要將全脂牛奶倒入百事可樂中。

The whole milk should combine with the caramel in the Pepsi

全脂牛奶應與百事可樂中的焦糖相結合

and it should sink to the bottom.

並且應該沉入海底。

Then I should be able to filter out

那麼我應該可以過濾掉

the coagulated milk caramel mixture,

凝固的牛奶焦糖混合物。

and I should be left with a clear-ish, Pepsi-like mixture.

而我應該留下一個透明的，百事可樂一樣的混合物。

I hope.

我希望如此

Oh.

哦。

Whoa.

哇。

So the milk in here should combine with

所以這裡的牛奶應該和

the caramel in the Pepsi,

百事可樂裡的焦糖。

and they both should sink to the bottom.

而他們都應該沉入海底。

But that's gonna take a while.

但這要花點時間

I'm gonna leave this here overnight.

我要把這個留在這裡過夜。

And I'm gonna try to sleep knowing that

而我要試著入睡，知道...

this monstrosity is in my living room.

So first things first,

所以，首先要做的是。

we have our milk monster that haunted my dreams last night.

is I'm going to filter this through a coffee filter.

是我要通過咖啡過濾器來過濾這個。

It's not translucent,

它不是半透明的。

but it's no longer like nearly as brown as it was.

但它不再像以前那樣幾乎是棕色的。

I'm actually gonna get another cup

我還想再買一杯

and I'm gonna try putting like 10 coffee filters

我想把10個咖啡濾紙放進去。

to see if that helps.

看看是否有幫助。

Kids, pay attention in science class,

孩子們，科學課上要注意了。

'cause someday you could end up doing whatever this is.

因為有一天你可能會最終做任何事情。

Oh boy, this is gonna take a while, isn't it?

哦，孩子，這要花點時間，是嗎？

Maybe I'll watch something.

也許我會看一些東西。

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.

哦，我不想看那個。

It's okay, this one was more promising anyway.

沒關係，反正這個比較有前途。

So even after going through many filters,

所以，即使經歷了很多過濾。

this still looks disgusting, and it is certainly not clear.

這看起來還是很噁心的，當然也不清楚。

But a lot of the color has been taken out of it.

但很多顏色已經被取走了。

The question that remains is, how does it taste?

剩下的問題是，它的味道如何？

(jazzy music)

(爵士樂)

Thankfully on my shopping trip yesterday,

幸好在我昨天的購物行程中。

I had the foresight to get the ingredients that I'd need.

我有先見之明，拿到了我需要的食材。

The main component of a cola

可樂的主要成分

is what's called a 7X flavoring.

就是所謂的7X調味劑。

And that's a selection of essential oils.

這就是精油的選擇。

And those include orange oil, lemon oil, cinnamon oil,

而這些包括橘子油、檸檬油、肉桂油。

nutmeg oil, and coriander oil, as well as neroli oil.

肉豆蔻油和香菜油，以及橙花油。

Unfortunately I was not able to get those exact oils.

不幸的是，我無法得到這些確切的油。

So what I'm going to be doing instead

所以，我要做什麼，而不是。

is I'm gonna be taking the raw components

是我要拿著原始的組件

and I'm going to use a mortar and pestle

而我要用研缽和研杵。

to grind them together.

把它們磨在一起。

And so I'm gonna start with some orange peel.

所以我要先用一些橘子皮。

I'm gonna get about 10 grams of this.

我會得到大約10克這個。

Oh, this is gonna take me a minute, isn't it?

哦，這要花我一分鐘，不是嗎？

Four grams of cinnamon.

肉桂四克。

One gram of nutmeg.

肉豆蔻一克。

Add some coriander seeds.

加入一些香菜籽。

I guess that cola is really like a cinnamon citrus drink.

我想那可樂真的像桂花柑橘飲料。

So I don't actually need to grind this into a fine powder,

所以我其實不需要把這個磨成細粉。

but this should be enough.

但這應該足夠了。

So typically to make an essential oil,

所以一般要做精油。

you either use something called steam distillation,

你要麼用一種叫蒸汽蒸餾的東西。

or you can soak it in an oil for like a month.

或者你可以把它浸泡在油裡一個月一樣。

Obviously I don't have time to do that,

顯然，我沒有時間去做這些。

but I found a trick online.

但我在網上找到了一個竅門。

I'm going to be heating up a bit of this coconut oil,

我打算加熱一下這個椰子油。

about five tablespoons worth.

大約五湯匙的價值。

Then I'm gonna add all of the ingredients

然後我把所有的材料都加進去。

that we ground together in the mortar and pestle,

我們一起用研杵磨過的。

as well as about four grams of the neroli oil.

以及四克左右的橙花油。

Then I'm just gonna let this sit

那我就把它放著

over low heat for about 30 minutes.

用小火煮30分鐘左右。

And eventually we're gonna strain off the oil

最終我們會把油過濾掉的

so that we're left with a cola flavored essential oil.

這樣我們就剩下可樂味的精油了。

So now what I'm left with is basically

所以，現在我剩下的基本上是：

a bottle of Pepsi essential oils.

一瓶百事可樂精油。

But here's where I encounter an issue.

但我在這裡遇到了一個問題。

This is oil.

這是油。

I have to mix this with carbonated water.

我得把這個和碳酸水混在一起。

Oil and water don't play too well together.

油和水不太合拍。

What I need is an emulsifier,

我需要的是一種乳化劑。

which will coat the oil particles in a hydrophilic coating,

這將使油粒子塗上一層親水塗層。

which means that the oil can be

這意味著，油可以

dispersed throughout the water.

分散在整個水中。

And therefore I can have a mixture of oil and water.

是以，我可以有油和水的混合物。

So last night I actually ordered gum arabic,

所以昨晚我真的點了阿拉伯膠。

which is the emulsifier that's used in Pepsi,

這是百事可樂中使用的乳化劑。

for overnight shipping.

用於隔夜運輸。

But when I went downstairs to pick up my package,

但當我下樓去取包裹的時候。

it looks like someone had stolen it.

它看起來像有人偷了它。

Someone doesn't want science to happen.

有人不希望科學發生。

And you know what, I'm gonna prove them wrong

你知道嗎，我會證明他們是錯的。

because you know what else can be

因為你知道還有什麼可以

used as an emulsifier, alcohol.

用作乳化劑，酒精。

This won't make the Cola alcoholic

這不會讓可樂酒變酒的

because A, we're gonna be cooking this a little more.

因為A，我們要多做一點。

And B, there's gonna be so little alcohol in this

而B，會有這麼少的酒精在這個

that it isn't even worth mentioning.

甚至不值得一提。

So I'm gonna take 10 milliliters of this vodka

所以我要喝10毫升的伏特加。

and mix it with three tablespoons of the oil I made.

並與我做的三湯匙油混合。

So you can see how, at the bottom of this,

所以你可以看到，在這個底部，如何。

the oil and the vodka are not quite mixing.

油和伏特加沒有完全混合。

So what I need to do is to take this immersion blender

所以我需要做的是把這個浸泡式攪拌機

and mix these together.

並將這些混合在一起。

(blender whirring)

（攪拌器呼呼）

So I have an emulsion now,

所以我現在有了乳劑。

and that means I can start making Pepsi.

這意味著我可以開始做百事可樂。

So if I were making normal cola

所以如果我做普通的可樂

the next step would actually be to caramelize some sugar.

下一步其實就是要焦化一些糖了。

But since we don't want that caramel color,

但既然我們不想要那種焦糖色。

we're going to forego that step.

我們將放棄這一步。

And instead, move on to the next step,

而不是繼續進行下一步的工作。

which is to combine all the rest of the ingredients

這是將所有其餘的成分結合起來。

to make a cola syrup.

來製作可樂糖漿。

So to make the flavoring syrup,

所以要做調味糖漿。

we're gonna need 600 grams of sugar,

我們將需要600克的糖。

three and a half grams of citric acid.

三克半的檸檬酸。

And then I just need to add in my flavoring

然後我只需要加入我的調味料。

and 500 milliliters of water, which is about 2.1 cups.

和500毫升的水，約為2.1杯。

So that's pretty much it to make the syrup.

所以要做糖漿也就差不多了。

I just have to heat this over a medium heat

我只要用中火加熱就可以了

for a little while, 'til it's all combined.

一會兒，直到它的所有組合。

I'm minutes from my own homemade Crystal Pepsi,

我離自己自制的水晶百事可樂只有幾分鐘的路程。

I can feel it.

我可以感覺到。

(Dakota sighs) Okay.

(達科他州嘆氣) 好吧

So I apparently didn't do a good enough job

所以我顯然做得不夠好。

emulsifying the essential oil with the alcohol.

將精油與酒精進行乳化。

So I'm gonna need to try doing that again

所以我需要再試著做一次

because this time the oil very much

因為這次的油非常多

just separated from the water.

剛從水中分離出來。

(fancy music)

(花樣音樂)

(blender whirring)

（攪拌器呼呼）

(Dakota laughing)

（達科他州笑）

The trope of the mad scientist makes total sense.

瘋狂科學家的特例完全有道理。

Zero.

零。

This is starting a bit stronger, it looks like.

這開始有點強勢了，看來。

Will this succeed?

會成功嗎？

Will I go insane trying to make something

我會不會瘋了，想做什麼

that I should never have set out

我不應該出發

to make in the first place?

要在第一時間做出?

Okay, so something magical has happened.

好了，神奇的事情發生了。

There's a few flecks of oil here and there,

這裡和那裡都有一些油漬。

but I think that most of it is properly emulsified.

但我認為，大部分都是適當的乳化。

I think I might be on my way

我想我可能要去了

to making Crystal Pepsi tonight.

今晚要做水晶百事可樂。

The last minutes, the moment of truth.

最後幾分鐘，關鍵時刻。

Let's make some seltzer.

讓我們做一些蘇打水。

(machine whooshing)

（機器嗖嗖聲）

Two tablespoons, 12 ounces of my soda water.

兩湯匙，12盎司我的蘇打水。

It's clear, it is clear.

很清楚，很清楚。

I've made some sort of beverage that is clear.

我做了某種飲料，很清楚。

But that is not Pepsi.

但這不是百事可樂。

Also the oil is separating again.

另外，油又分離了。

(somber music)

(沉悶的音樂)

Oh my god.

哦，我的上帝。

What do I do next?

我接下來該怎麼辦？

Like, look at this.

就像，看這個。

The oil and the water are clearly still separated.

油和水顯然還是分開的。

And so I sit amongst the midst of my failure

我就這樣坐在我的失敗之中。

telling you to not fail where I failed,

告訴你不要在我失敗的地方失敗。

and hoping that you have more success

並希望你有更多的成功

in your endeavors than I did in this.

在你的努力中，比我做的這個。

Okay, so it is nearly two in the morning,

好了，現在已經快凌晨兩點了。

but I have just had a breakthrough.

但我剛剛有了突破。

You see this bottle?

你看到這個瓶子了嗎？

This is full of something that tastes almost,

這滿滿的都是一些味道差不多的東西。

but not entirely, unlike Pepsi.

但不完全是，不像百事可樂。

And it's clear.

而且很明顯。

And there's just a tiny bit of oil at the top.

而且上面只有一點點油。

So defeated, I walked over

敗下陣來，我走了過去

and I sat on the couch for three hours.

我在沙發上坐了三個小時。

But then around one I decided it was

但在1點左右，我決定

probably time to start cleaning things up.

也許是時候開始清理東西了。

But I'd left the flavoring mixture sitting on the stove.

但我把調料放在爐子上了。

I'd just left it to cool.

我只是讓它冷卻。

When I saw it though,

當我看到它，雖然。

all of the oil had kind of formed at the top.

所有的油都在頂部形成了一種。

So I thought to myself, why don't I just scrape this off?

於是我就想，我為什麼不把這個東西刮掉呢？

And I took a little taste of the flavoring,

我還嚐了一點調味料。
