A sugar-free soluble tea extract tablet and a method for preparing it that includes the steps of providing a sweetener blend, a natural binder, and a tea extract, in a proportion of five grams of sweater blend and one gram of natural binder for every one gram of tea extract. Then, heating the sweetener blend to melt into a liquid at a temperature ranged between 100 to 300 degrees Celsius, adding the tea extract and the natural binder to the melted sweetener blend to form a mixture, stirring the mixture thoroughly and pouring it into molds for cooling. The sweetener blend includes Erythritol and Monkfruit or stevia sweetener, and the natural binder is an organic gum fiber blend such as organic guar gum, organic gum arabic, organic agave fiber, organic rice hulls, or organic agave syrup.

A method for treating Moringa seeds is disclosed. A starting material comprising ground Moringa seeds, preferably seeds that have undergone a process to remove their oil, is contacted with water. The water is drained, and the Moringa seeds are then contacted with water a second time. The product may then be dried or passed to an extruder. The process almost completely removes the unpleasant bitter taste associated with Moringa seeds, but retains most of the protein content of the starting material. In contrast to methods known in the art, the method does not require adjustment of the pH or the use of any organic solvent. A composition comprising ground Moringa seeds that comprises at least 30% protein and has a glucosinolate concentration <10% of that of naturally-occurring Moringa seeds, while lacking the bitter taste associated with raw Moringa seeds, is also disclosed.
