METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONSUMABLE POWDER RECONSTITUTION AND FROTHING

摘要

A method and apparatus for reconstituting consumable powder(s) with a liquid to provide a food liquid such as milk, cappuccino-type beverage, or soup with or without froth. The powder is introduced into a container ( 15 ) and pre-wetted by an intersecting liquid spray ( 13 a). Further mixing occurs in the container. The container may have additional liquid streams ( 14 a) feeding into the container for increased mixing. This food liquid can then be aspirated by the Venturi effect by steam generation to produce a frothed/aerated food liquid.
