ABSTRACT:
Maple sap derived from a maple tree is carbonated with carbon dioxide gas to provide carbonated maple sap. A carbonated maple sap product is also provided wherein up to 75% by volume of the naturally occurring water content of the maple sap is removed, preferably to provide a sugar content of the product in the range of from about 2.degree. Brix to about 8.degree. Brix. The product may additionally comprise a flavoring ingredient, such as a fruit flavor, for complementing the maple sap product. The method includes gathering the maple sap from the maple tree, pasteurizing the sap for the elimination of harmful bacteria, cooling the pasteurized maple sap to a temperature above its freezing point, and then carbonating the maple sap with carbon dioxide gas to provide a refreshing and thirst quenching product, preferably in the form of a beverage for human consumption.
