The invention discloses a preparation method of a
litsea coreana tea beverage, and relates to the field of tea beverages. The preparation method comprises the following steps of crushing
litsea coreana of which the weight is 0.6-0.8% of the total weight of a pre-prepared beverage into
litsea coreana
powder, performing screening with a 50-mesh
sieve, and performing weighing; adding water of which the weight is equivalent to 8-10 times of that of the
litsea coreana powder to an extracting tank, performing heating at
room temperature to 75-90 DEG C, adding the
litsea coreana powder, performing extraction under stirring for 8-12 minutes, and performing
filtration with a 200-300-mesh filter net so as to obtain a filtrate (1); performing extraction on filter residues under the equal conditions with water of which the weight is 4-6 times of that of the filter residues for 4-6 minutes, and performing
filtration with a 200-300-mesh filter net so as to obtain a filtrate (2); and mixing the filtrate (1) with the filtrate (2) to obtain mixed filtrate, adding the mixed filtrate into the extracting tank, performing heating to 60-80 DEG C, reducing the pressure to minus 15KPa to minus 20KPa, performing concentration, collecting condensate namely aromatic water, when the weight of the collected aromatic water is 1-1.5 times of that of the
litsea coreana powder, stopping collecting the aromaticwater, continuing performing concentration until the weight of concentrated substances is 1 / 4-1 / 3 of that of the total filtrate, performing
spray drying to obtain
dry powder, and mixing and blendingthe
dry powder with the aromatic water, white granulated
sugar of which the weight is 5%-8% of the total weight of the beverage,
citric acid of which the weight is 0.002%-0.005% of the total weight ofthe beverage and the balance of water. The tea beverage prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention can remove summer-heat, quench
thirst, promote
digestion, remove food retention and strengthen
immunity of human bodies, the quality is easy to control, and the mouth feel is good.
