[0122] Process route: smoking at 20℃~300℃, 0h~3h.

[0123] Process path:

[0124] (1) Smoking is carried out synchronously or alternately with processes such as braising, stewing, boiling and simmering: a certain amount of liquid is placed in the main body of the beverage equipment, and the liquid can be any one or more of liquid ingredients such as water, coffee, milk, etc.; one or more ingredients such as tea leaves, eggs, and buns can be placed in the tea strainer at the same time; one or more odorous smoking materials such as lemon, grapefruit peel, bergamot, osmanthus, etc. are placed in the smoking chamber. At this time, the first heat source and the second heat source can start working synchronously or alternately. The characteristic of this process is that water vapor will be generated during the braising, stewing, boiling and simmering processes, and the steam will contact the smoking material through the through holes at the bottom of the smoking chamber. After the crossover of cold and hot, the water vapor will fall back into the main body of the beverage equipment in the form of reflux water, which can achieve good dissolution and circulation of aroma substances.

[0125] (2) Smoking and braising, stewing, boiling and other processes are carried out in sequence: the preparation work is the same as above, but the first heat source is started first. When the preset boiling point / temperature range / power is reached, the first heat source stops working and the second heat source starts working. When the preset heating temperature / power / heating time of the second heat source is reached, the second heat source stops working.

[0126] Natural aroma materials, such as pepper, bergamot, grapefruit peel, cherry wood, apple wood, etc., all contain aroma factors such as guaiacol. Most of these aroma factors are soluble in water, so in the presence of water, the aroma will dissolve better and can be better attached to the food.
