THE INVENTION
The claimed invention is directed toward a method for making
a beverage. Claim 11 is illustrative:
11. A method of preparing a beverage comprising the steps
of:
(a) providing a transportable, non-homogenized flavor
composition, said flavor composition comprising at least one
aqueous phase compound, at least one oil phase compound, and at
least one edible acid,
wherein said flavor composition is provided in a unitized
quantity corresponding to an integer part of a single batch
mixture of the beverage, said integer being greater than 0; and
wherein said flavor composition is concentrated such that
said aqueous phase compound and said oil phase compound separate
noticeably at 20°C within 2 hours when exposed only to
gravitational forces;
(b) providing a locally available dilution composition,
said dilution composition comprising water; and
(c) mixing said flavor composition with 200 or more parts
