Part 2/8:
The preparation of Hot Dr Pepper is straightforward and relies on two primary ingredients: Dr Pepper and lemon. The original recipe can be traced back to a commercial featuring Dick Clark, king of 1960s television. He suggested heating Dr Pepper in a saucepan until it steams, then pouring it over a slice of lemon. Over the years, further guidance indicated that the drink should reach 180°F. Interestingly, while carbonation can make the beverage bubble, it does not actually boil.
