    I’m gonna go with the step you didn’t list which is soaking them in dichloromethane or ethyl acetate for several hours, or submersing them in high pressure, supercritical carbon dioxide, to extract the pure caffeine. Then adding that pure caffeine into a mixture of artificial sugars, preservatives, and food dyes.

    But sure, that’s totally the same as something that’s essentially a type of tea.

      Whoa! Didn’t know you can boil in CO2 too.

      artificial sugars

      Nah, too expensive.
