Abstract
A dry mix for preparing a slush beverage. When the dry mix is dissolved in water at a 15% solids level, the liquid has an onset melting point greater than -6.5.degree. C. and a viscosity of less than 10 mPas at 14.7.degree. C. The mix contains at least 2% of water-soluble, low-viscosity hydrocolloid and preferably contains insoluble particles to function as an ice crystal nucleating agent.
Claims17
A slush beverage dry mix capable of being combined with water or milk and frozen to produce a slush beverage within about 3.5 hours in a household freezer, the dry mix when dissolved in water at about 15% solids level producing a liquid which has an onset melting point greater than -6.5.degree. C. and a viscosity of less than 15 mPas at 14.7.degree. C., and wherein said dry mix contains at least 2% of water-soluble hydrolyzed hydrocolloid, wherein a 2% solution of said hydrocolloid has a viscosity of less that 10 mPas at 20.degree. C.
