Method of making a beverage including a gas in a beverage making machine

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

• inserting at least one beverage making cartridge into the beverage making machine, the beverage making cartridge comprising a combination of at least one beverage ingredient and solid gas source, with the solid gas source, through sublimation, emitting a gas;
• pressurizing a gas storage tank by sublimation of the solid gas source, the gas storage tank being arranged to store the gas;
• supplying a beverage diluent liquid into the dissolver;
• dissolving, by way of the dissolver, a portion of the gas into the beverage diluent liquid at a minimum dissolver gas volumes level;
• creating a blended beverage diluent liquid having a selectable target gas volumes level by diluting volumetrically the beverage diluent liquid from the dissolver, comprising the gas, with the beverage diluent liquid, which is absent of the gas, to form the blended beverage diluent liquid having the predefined target gas volumes level;
• and
• dispensing selectively a predefined ratio of the beverage ingredient and the blended beverage diluent liquid to form a beverage.
