The recipe is truly a child’s game and anyone can make it without much hassle. The two ingredients needed to make the sugar-free dupe of the famous soda at home are – unflavored seltzer water and some black cherry-flavor MiO.

In case you do not know, MiO is a concentrated liquid that is used to add some flavor to your water, sodas, and drinks. You can use it in a variety of ways and probably, this is how someone found this weird hack and tried it only to see that it tastes a lot like the Diet Dr. Pepper.

Just mix the two ingredients together and there you have it, your own Dr. Pepper soda. However, one thing that you must remember is about the mess that it creates. On mixing the two ingredients, a whole lot of fizz starts to come out. Therefore, it is better to do this in a sink or a bigger container to avoid any spills.
