Abstract:

A method of making a peanut beverage provides for roasting a plurality of peanuts, which have been removed from their shells, at a temperature of at least 350 F. It has been found that this temperature produces the required flavor and boldness to place the peanuts more on par with coffee beverages. The temperature generally will be no higher than 550 F. The plurality of peanuts is roasted for at least 8 minutes. Though the ultimately duration of roasting may vary depending on the temperature, typically the roasting will take place over a period of less than about 35 minutes. The term “plurality” has been used herein as there is no set amount of peanuts which may be roasted at any given time.
