Thanks, Acknowledgements and Afterward
The 7X that I experimented with comes from the great Coke history book, For God, Country, & Coca-Cola, by Mark Pendergrast, Basic Books, 1993, 2000, ISBN 0-465-05468-4. I know, I know. I list 8 oils, not 7. It notes in the book that many believe lavender to be part of the 7X formula, so I tried it. We liked it in testing.

Special thanks to Pharmacist David at the IDA (Queen West near Jameson, Toronto) for advice on phosphoric acid and chemistry.

Teaspoon?
Is "one teaspoon" meant to mean exactly 5 milliliters, as per the US official definition for food declarations? Or is it just some rough measure? -- 92.229.147.30 (talk) 23:57, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Too much arabic gum
Way too much for the amount of oil added, I was left with globs floating around brown sugar water. --2601:154:C002:A910:98AD:5BB8:3679:7F64 (discuss) 21:51, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
