Beverage brewing product
View Patent ↗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.
1. A method for brewing sweetened beverages comprising: providing a brewing machine having a brew container, a brewing basket carried above the container, and a water dispenser for delivering water into said brewing basket; agglomerating a prescribed blend of beverages particles and sugar into a composite product; wherein said sugar has a mesh size in the range of U.S. mesh sieve no. 35 or lower; placing said composite product into said brewing basket; and dispensing water into said brewing basket and allowing the beverage particles and sugar to steep in said brewing basket and produce a sweet beverage solution.
2. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 1 , wherein said beverage particles are selected from the group consisting of tea, coffee, lemonade, and a flavored concentrate.
3. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 1 , further including the step of providing a water permeable sieve and placing said sieve into said brewing basket.
4. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 1 , further including the steps of diluting said sweet beverage solution with diluting liquid.
5. A beverage brewing product for producing a sweetened beverage comprising: a water permeable sieve containing an agglomerated composite product formed from beverage particle and granulated sugar; wherein said sugar granules have a size in the range of US mesh sieve no. 35 or lower; said sieve having openings being generally smaller than the size of said composite product for the retention of said composite product; and so that said sugar is dissolved during steeping in water for making said sweetened beverage.
6. The beverage brewing product for producing a sweetened beverage set forth in claim 5 , wherein said sieve is formed into a pouch.
7. The beverage brewing product for producing a sweetened beverage set forth in claim 5 , wherein said beverage particles are selected from the group consisting of tea, coffee, lemonade, and a flavored concentrate.
8. A method for brewing sweetened beverage comprising: providing a brewing machine having a brew container; a brewing basket carried above the container, and a water dispenser for delivering water into said brewing basket; forming sugar pieces by agglomerating granulated sugar so said sugar piece have a size in the range of U.S. mesh 35 or lower; placing said sugar pieces into said brewing basket; placing beverage particle into said brewing basket; and dispensing water into said brewing basket and allowing said beverage particles and sugar to steep in said brewing basket and produce a sweet beverage solution.
9. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 8 , further including the step of providing at least one water permeable sieve and placing said at least one sieve into said brewing basket.
10. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 8 , wherein said beverage particles are selected from the group consisting of tea, coffee, lemonade, and a flavored concentrate.
11. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 8 , further including the steps of diluting said sweet beverage solution with diluting liquid.
12. A method for brewing sweetened beverages comprising:
providing a brewing machine having a brew container, a brewing receptacle carried above the container, and at least one water dispenser for delivering water into said brewing receptacle,
wherein said brewing receptacle is selected from the group consisting of a brewing basket having multiple interior compartments and multiple brewing baskets each having at least one compartment;
placing a prescribed amount of sugar into a first compartment in said brewing receptacle, wherein said sugar granules have a size in the range of U.S. mesh sieve no. 35 or lower,
placing a prescribed amount of beverage material into a second compartment in said brewing receptacle; and
dispensing water into said brewing receptacle and allowing said beverage material and sugar to steep and produce a sweet beverage solution in said container.
13. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 12 , wherein said sugar granules include agglomerated sugar pieces.
14. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 12 , further including the step of placing said sugar into a water permeable sieve.
15. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 12 , further including the step of placing said beverage material into a water permeable sieve.
16. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 12 , wherein said beverage material is selected from the group consisting of tea, coffee, lemonade, and a flavored concentrate.
17. The method for brewing sweetened beverages set forth in claim 12 , further including the steps of diluting said sweet beverage solution with diluting liquid.
