Abstract
An instant dry mix composition produces a beverage having a two-toned foam on the surface upon reconstitution in a hot liquid. The composition includes a foaming creamer for producing a foam layer and a separately enclosed quick dissolving or dispersing flavor/color component and optional sweetener component. The density of the combined flavor/color component and optional sweetener component is higher than the density of the foam layer. A beverage is prepared by combining the foaming creamer and hot liquid until the foaming creamer dissolves and creates a foamed layer on the surface. The combined flavor/color component and optional sweetener component is then added. Upon stirring the resultant mixture, a two-toned effect results in the foam layer.
