The invention relates to a tea-based beverage comprising probiotics, wherein the probiotics has a live probiotic cell count of ≥6.0 log CFU/ml. The invention further relates to a method of preparing the tea-based beverage having a live probiotic cell count of ≥6.0 log CFU/ml comprising the steps of: mixing tea infusion with sugar to form a mixture, inoculating probiotics to the mixture to form an inoculated mixture, fermenting the inoculated mixture for a pre-determined period of time to form the beverage. In one embodiment, the probiotics comprises Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus ermentum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Saccharomyces boulardii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or a combination thereof.

A vegetable substance-made synthetic egg includes a vegetable substance-made synthetic egg powder that is in a dry form and packed in an enclosed form. To use, water of a predetermined ratio is uniformly mixed with the egg powder made of vegetable substance to make an egg liquid that is heatable and cookable to make egg cuisines of scrambled egg and fried egg, and as such, mimicking of an actual egg can be realized as being made close to the actual egg in respect of taste and quality and containing zero cholesterol and allowing for easy carrying, storing, and cooking. A composition of the egg powder made up of vegetable substances includes at least 50.00% of rice protein, 5.00% of gellan gum, 1.50% of sodium alginate, 0.50% of calcium lactate, 0.10% of lutein, 3.00% of yeast powder, 5.00% of xanthan gum and 31.90% of corn flour, and 3.00% of edible salt.
