THE METHOD COMPRISES A STEP OF PROVIDING AT LEAST ONE PACKAGED SOURCE OF A LIQUID PREMIX BASE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE MICROBIOLOGICALLY, PHYSICALLY, ENZYMATICALLY AND/OR CHEMICALLY SENSITIVE BEVERAGE COMPONENT WHICH IS NOT SOLELY CARBOHYDRATE, A WATER ACTIVITY LOWERING COMPONENT. THE LIQUID PREMIX BASED IS FORMULATED WITH A WATER ACTIVITY AND/OR SOLID CONTENT EFFECTIVE TO RENDER IT SHELF STABLE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. THE METHOD COMPRISES A STEP OF SEPARATELY PROVIDING A PLURALITY OF FLOWABLE ADDITIVE PACKAGED SOURCES ADAPTED TO TAILOR THE FLAVOR, AROMA, BODY AND/OR NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF THE BEVERAGE. THE METHOD COMPRISES A STEP IN WHICH LIQUID PREMIX BASE IS MIXED TO HOT OR COLD NON-CARBONATED WATER TO PROVIDE A BEVERAGE BASE WHICH IS DISPENSED TO THE CUP AND WHEREIN AT LEAST ONE ADDITIVE IS DELIVERED AND MIXED WITH THE BEVERAGE BASE INTO THE CUP.
