Abstract
A process for the preparation of carbonated beverages by the consumer is disclosed. Water is contacted with carbonated ice and, optionally, flavored syrup in a closed pressure vessel whereby superatmospheric pressure is created and a carbonated liquid is produced. Soft drinks prepared by this method have a degree of carbonation substantially the same as the bottled or canned product available commercially.
Claims8
A method of carbonating water which comprises contacting water with carbonated ice initially at substantially normal atmospheric pressure in a closed pressure vessel, the carbonated ice containing at least 25 ml of carbon dioxide per gram of ice, the amount of carbonated ice being sufficient to create a superatmospheric pressure in said vessel and provide carbonated water containing at least three volumes of carbon dioxide.
