Method of Making a Beverage in a Beverage Making Machine

A method of making a beverage in a beverage making machine, the method comprising:

• inserting a beverage making cartridge, into the beverage making machine, the beverage making cartridge comprising at least one of a beverage ingredient and a solid gas source that through sublimation emits a gas;
• pressurizing a gas storage tank arranged to store the gas in anticipation of using the beverage making machine to make a beverage, the beverage making machine comprising the gas storage tank;
• removing the beverage making cartridge from the beverage making machine when the solid gas source has sublimated;
• storing the beverage making cartridge in a refrigerated appliance separate from the beverage making machine;
• and
• preparing the beverage comprising:
• retrieving the beverage cartridge form the refrigerated appliance;
• inserting the beverage making cartridge, into the beverage making machine;
• supplying a beverage diluent liquid into the beverage making machine;
• dissolving portion of the gas, from the gas storage tank, into the beverage diluent liquid;
• and
• dispensing selectively a predefined ratio of the beverage ingredient and the beverage diluent liquid to form the beverage.
