A system and method for applying a reduced sugar coating to a food product is provided. The system uses separate applications (simultaneous or sequential) of a non-sucrose carbohydrate syrup from a first applicator and a sucrose syrup from a second applicator. The dual applications of the syrups are applied without an active drying step between applications. The process results in a coated food product with reduced clumping and a desired crystallized appearance even with the reduced levels of sugar.

The present invention pertains to a flavor water that comprises: (a) a natural sugar in an amount corresponding to sweetness intensity X1; (b) a high intensity sweetener in an amount corresponding to sweetness intensity X2; (c) sodium in an amount of less than 40 mg/100 ml; and (d) potassium in an amount of less than 70 mg/100 ml and/or calcium in an amount of less than 70 mg/100 ml, wherein the high intensity sweetener comprises at least one high intensity sweetener b1 selected from the group consisting of Rebaudioside M, Rebaudioside D, Rebaudioside N, Rebaudioside O, Rebaudioside E, an extract of Momordica grosvenori, Mogroside V and Thaumatin, and (X1+X2) is larger than 1 and not larger than 20.
