Abstract
A dry mix composition comprising roasted coffee beans prepared as ground or freeze-dried, at least one of a freeze-dried fruit component and a freeze-dried vegetable component and an effective amount of at least one neutralizer. Also a novel production or processing method of roasting coffee with a dry mix composition comprising a least one member selected from the group consisting of a freeze-dried fruit component and a freeze-dried vegetable component wherein the process corrects for various levels of acidity in coffee, fruits and vegetables together with a milk product in a manner that corrects pH and solves the curdling problems prevalent in the art.
Claims16
A dry mix composition comprising:
- roasted coffee beans, wherein the beans are prepared as ground or freeze-dried;
- at least one freeze-dried fruit component;
- at least one freeze-dried vegetable component;
- and
- an effective amount of at least one neutralizer.
A method of formulating a freeze-dried coffee and fruit composition, comprising:
- (a) providing a plurality of fruits and vegetables;
- (b) freeze-drying the plurality of fruits and vegetables;
- (c) grinding the freeze-dried product of (b) into a fine powder;
- (d) providing coffee beans selected based on a desired pH;
- (e) roasting the coffee beans to the desired pH;
- (f) grinding the roasted coffee beans;
- (g) freeze-drying the ground, roasted coffee beans;
