A method for making tea cubes containing a blend of granular sugar, dry extract of either black or green teas, micronized tea and flavour comprises providing tea leaves that have been micronized in a jet mill (1) to simulate performance of instant tea without contributing any stickiness. Next, sugar and flavour are prepared for mixing and incorporating them with micronized tea. The particle size distribution of sugar is decided depending upon the percentage (%) of non-sugar ingredients in the cube formulation.

A method of dispensing a beverage comprising: a) inserting a beverage ingredient tablet (20) into a beverage preparation machine (30); b) measuring a characteristic associated with the thickness of at least a portion of the beverage ingredient tablet (20) to identify the beverage ingredient tablet (20); c) configuring one or more dispense parameters of the beverage preparation machine (30) based on the identification of the beverage ingredient tablet (20); and d) operating the beverage preparation machine (30) to dispense a beverage by contacting the beverage ingredient tablet (20) with an aqueous fluid.

Disclosed is a microcapsule containing: (i) a microcapsule core having an active material, and (ii) a microcapsule wall formed of a first polymer and second polymer. The first polymer is a sol-gel polymer. The second polymer is gum arabic, purity gum ultra, gelatin, chitosan, xanthan gum, plant gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl guar gum, or a combination thereof. The weight ratio between the first and second polymer is 1:10 to 10:1. Also disclosed are processes for preparing the microcapsule and uses of the microcapsules in consumer products.

The present disclosure relates to making a new kind of honey by adding well-dried acacia flowers to acacia honey and packaging the obtained product in single-serving stick-type individual packs to allow acacia honey flower tea to be consumed. Also, the present disclosure relates to mixing fine powder obtained by crushing well-dried flowers well with honey in an appropriate combination and packaging the obtained product in single-serving individual packs or containers. Also, the present disclosure relates to mixing honey and well-dried fruit powder well in an appropriate ratio and additionally adding dried fruit slices or whole small dried fruit. In addition, the present disclosure relates to pickling fresh flowers in honey so that, due to physical and chemical changes to the honey, more beneficial ingredients can be consumed as compared to when the honey is consumed alone.
