Abstract
A method of producing tea syrup comprises contacting a plant material and/or plant extract with hot water to produce a tea. The method comprises filtering the tea to produce a tea filtrate, adding sugar to the tea filtrate, and then reducing the pH of either the tea or the tea filtrate, and thereby producing a tea syrup.
Claims15
A method of producing a tea syrup, the method comprising:
- contacting at least one of a plant material and a plant extract with water at a temperature of at least 60° C. to produce a tea, wherein a concentration of at least one of the plant material and the plant extract in the hot water is at least 50 grams per liter;
- filtering the tea to produce a tea filtrate, wherein the tea is at a temperature of at least 50° C. when it is filtered;
- adding sugar to the tea filtrate at a concentration sufficient to cause the filtrate to have a Brix value of at least 50° Bx and thereby causing tea cream to be reabsorbed into the tea filtrate;
- and
- reducing a pH of either the tea or the tea filtrate to between 2.8 and 4.5,
- and thereby producing the tea syrup.
