Sweet Tea Composition Without Use of Natural or Artificial Sweeteners
A sweet tea product, and a process for the preparation of that sweet tea product. The process comprises blending tea leaves with hydrangea leaves to create a tea leaf and hydrangea leaf blend, and then steeping the tea leaf and hydrangea leaf blend in a solvent, to extract flavor components of both leaves. The solvent is preferably water. The resulting sweet tea is advantageous, in that it has the characteristic high sweetness of sweet tea, yet is made without the addition of either artificial or natural sweeteners.

Pan spray formulation and delivery system
By combining lecithin, water and oil as the principal ingredients, a highly effective, uniform, widely dispersed, pan release spray product is achieved. Preferably, the lecithin is a dry, powdered lecithin. The lecithin is blended with the oil, water and/or alcohol to form a stable emulsion that exhibits superior pan release properties. Furthermore, the lecithin emulsions are easily formulated with a variety of blending agents to make flavorful salad dressings, marinades, and pet flavor enhancing products, as a non-aerosol, finger pump based product or as an aerosol product. By selecting an appropriate propellant, the product is non-flammable as well.

SMOKE INK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
A liquid smoke ink and a method of making the smoke ink is provided. The smoke ink may be applied to a substrate and dried. The substrate may be used as a food, primarily a meat, casing. Liquid smoke is made from a dehydrated liquid smoke, which is a solid smoke. The solid smoke is dissolved in a food grade solvent to create the smoke ink. The smoke ink is applied to a substrate wherein the solvent evaporates. This leaves the smoke flavor on the substrate in an, essentially, fixed position.
