A beverage brewing product for brewing a sweetened beverage is disclosed which produces a sweetened beverage solution that can be mixed with a diluting liquid and which comprises at least one water permeable sieve wherein beverage material and granulated sweetener are contained. The beverage material and sweetener are brewed and dissolved during steeping in hot water to produce a sweetened beverage solution. The beverage solution, if concentrated, is then mixed with a proportioned amount of diluting liquid to make a consistently sweet beverage. This beverage brewing product may be used to produce a variety of consistently sweetened beverages, including tea, coffee, lemonade, and other sweetened beverages.

A tag to be fixed to a connecting thread to a filter bag for infusion products has a flat body delimited by a perimeter edge; a first slit, starting from a first point of a side of the perimeter edge; a second slit and a third slit, starting from respective points of such side of the perimeter edge arranged on opposite sides with respect to the first starting point of the first slit. At least one of the second and third slits exhibits, starting from the respective starting point on said side, a progression and a development directed towards a point of a straight line in the plane of the body of the tag and perpendicular to said side at the first starting point of the first slit; the first slit, the second slit and the third slit being such as to enable passage there-through of a connecting thread, for fixing the tag to the thread.

An apparatus and method are provided for storing and dispensing into a liquid a soluble substance, such as a flavoring, a body fuel, a nutritional supplement, a stimulant, a relaxant, an alcohol neutralizer, or a medical drug. A useful application of the subject invention includes a lime flavoring held by a gelatinous artificial lime wedge stored with a beer bottle or can, or attached to a 6-pack or 12-pack carton. The artificial lime wedge may be retrieved from a protective covering and acted upon so it mixes the lime flavoring into the beer when it is inserted into the beer bottle or can. Rather than needing to buy and store a perishable natural lime, and cut it up, an artificial lime wedge may be stored for an extended period of time with a beer vessel and placed in functional contact with the beer at time of consumption.
