PURPOSE:To obtain the titled instant drink readily soluble to give a natural drink having excellent taste and flavor, at a low cost, by adding a concentrated solution of a natural material having a specific water-content to a powdery raw material in fluidized state and drying the resultant granules. CONSTITUTION:A powdery raw material (e.g. sugar powder, etc.) is put into a vessel to enable the stirring, rotation, rolling or fluidization of the material. A concentrated solution of a natural material having a water-content of 40-70% is dripped little by little to the powdery raw material in the vessel to form wet granules. The objective instant drink can be produced by drying the granule with hot air stream of preferably 40-80 deg.C. EFFECT:In contrast to the conventional process wherein the raw material is subjected to double drying steps consisting of the drying step to form a concentrated solution of natural material to powder and the drying step after granulation, the present process is effective in preventing the degradation of fruit juice component and extracted component, giving a product having excellent taste and flavor and reducing the production cost owing to the simplified process.
