A novel formulation and method of processing for artificially sweetened, sugar free, powdered beverage mixes containing Aspartame (an artificial sweetener) is obtained by premixing the ingredients until the blend is uniform in composition, feeding the blend through an agglomerator such that the faster dissolving ingredients form two layers around each particle of Aspartame, and drying and cooling the agglomerated particles to provide a free flowing blend.

A method of manufacturing pre-sweetened, sugar-free powdered beverages which contains a mix which comprises hydrolyzed cereal solids, a food acid selected from the group consisting of citric, malic, and fumaric acids and mixtures thereof, a flavor, a clouding agent, vitamin C, aspartame, and a color, wherein the ratio of the combined weight of the natural cereal solids and the food acids to the weight of aspartame, is between from about 10:1 to about 20:1, comprising the steps: (a) preblending all of the ingredients in the mix until the blend is uniform and free of balls of aspartame, (b) feeding the blend through an agglomerator wherein the particles are uniformly wetted by spraying with live steam whereby the hydrolyzed cereal solids and food acids, which preferentially absorb the moisture, are partially dissolved and form a layer around each particle of aspartame, and (c) drying and cooling the agglomerated particles to provide a free flowing blend.
