Abstract

As aspartame-sweetened, acidic beverage mix is formulated wherein at least 20% of the aspartame is in bulk (i.e., needle-shaped crystalline particles) form and least 35% of the aspartame is coated onto acid particles. The beverage mix is well suited for powdered, sugar-free, ice tea mixes, particularly fruit-flavored mixes.
