How To Prepare An Instant Hot Beverage

By Della Monroe


There is no doubt that coffee is the most popular drink world over. Caffeine is the main ingredient that gives the beverage its unique properties. One of the properties is the addictive nature of the drink. Consumption of caffeinated drinks does go against the religious beliefs of some people and indeed may have some negative effects albeit minor. Postum is an instant hot beverage that was created to act as a substitute for coffee but without the caffeine.

One of the reasons postum was so heavily consumed is because it was marketed as being way superior to ordinary coffee as regards health benefits. The main constituents of the product include molasses, wheat and wheat bran. This mix is roasted together to form the final product that tastes just like coffee. It is said to be free from sodium and trans fats and is suitable as a kosher beverage.

The manufacture of postum was stopped in 2007 due to a drop in sales. A number of homemade recipes have been made available to the lovers of the drink. The homemade recipe contains the same ingredients as the commercially available product. Similar products that use the same principles have also been introduced into the market and these have enjoyed mixed fortunes.

The homemade product consists of molasses, ground wheat and corn. The three are mixed in a shallow pan and mixed thoroughly before being baked slowly. Stirring is done intermittently to ensure that the color change is uniform. When the mix takes on a dark brown color, it is allowed to cool and store in a dry, clean container. No further preparation is required before it can be used.

You only require a cup of hot water to prepare your drink. One or two spoons of the mixture will be needed for each cup. Such a cup provides about fourteen calories of energy. The drink may also be prepared by a beverage dispensing machine. The machines are designed to mix the product and produce a ready to drink beverage at the touch of a button. They can be bought from online stores or electronic shops.

The dispensing machines are rather expensive and not many people can acquire them for personal use. If your boss at the work place is not supportive of the idea, then you may need to consider pooling resources with your partners. The actual cost will of course depend on the design that you wish to acquire.

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.
