How To Prepare An Instant Hot Beverage

By Della Monroe


Coffee is the most popular beverage worldwide. The active ingredient in coffee is known as caffeine and is highly addictive. However, a number of people may wish to avoid the beverage due to the addictive nature. Postum, an instant hot beverage is a solution for such people. This drink has been a popular coffee substitute for more than a century now.

One of the reasons as to why this drink has remained popular over the years is the fact that it has always been marked as being healthier than ordinary coffee. The main ingredients that are used to make the mix include wheat bran, molasses and wheat which are roasted together. Apart from being free from caffeine, it is also free from fat and sodium. It also meets kosher standards.

Manufacturing of postum was officially stopped in 2007 due to what is believed to be a shrinking market. Reintroduction has been done in several places with variable success. At the same time, a number of companies have introduced similar products in the market and these too continue to attract a lot of interest. Most people have now turned to a homemade product that is made from recipes obtained from online sites.

To prepare the beverage, ground wheat, corn and molasses are put in a shallow pan and mixed well. These are then baked until they turn to a dark brown color. Stirring should be done at fifteen minute intervals so that they do not burn. Once a uniform color change has been achieved, the product is allowed to cool down for a few minutes. Storage should be done in clean, dry containers with air tight caps.

All that is required to have a drink is a cup of water. Put one or two spoons to the water and stir to mix. It is estimated that there are about 14 calories of energy in each mug. This may also be done using a dispensing machine. The raw product is put into the machine and out comes the drink just at the touch of a button. These can be easily obtained online or in electronic shops.

Having a personal beverage dispensing machine may not be possible for everyone due to the costs that are involved. However, the same may be possible for a company so that one machine is shared among many users. Alternatively, if your boss turns down the idea, you can talk to your colleagues so that each of you makes a small contribution. Different types of dispensing machines exist all with different mixing abilities.

Other than postum, there are several other beverages that can be prepared instantly. Coffee, tea and chocolate can all be prepared in the same manner. English tea appears to be just as popular as coffee. The main disadvantage is that it also contains caffeine. All of these beverages can be prepared within a minute as long as hot water is available. They can also be mixed in the beverage dispensing machines.

The beverage industry is huge and diverse. It continues to increase in size every day. With many people having to handle busy schedules, enjoying their favorite drinks may not be so easy. The trend has been the adoption of automated machines that can mix the raw materials and produce the drink instantly.
