ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a flavored ice manufacturing method for manufacturing flavored ice with a taste and smell possessing a uniform color or is colorless, which comprises a block ice manufacturing process; a crushing process for crushing this manufactured block ice into ice particles; and a sorting process for sorting these crushed ice particles into flavored ice of a predetermined particle diameter. In the sorting process, the ice particles are sorted into flavored ice of a predetermined particle diameter while spraying a dry-cooling fluid of 0.degree. C. or less onto the ice particles. As a result, a dry-cooling liquid is sprayed around the periphery of these ice particles, and thus the surface temperature of these ice particles can be maintained at a low temperature, and the water component existing around the periphery can be blown away. In this manner, adhesion of water and minute particles to the surface of the ice particles, as well as adhesion of neighboring ice particles is prevented. Consequently, the taste sensation of the flavored ice. as well as the separation workability of the ice particles can be improved. In addition, the present invention provides flavored ice with an improved taste possessing a particle size within a predetermined range, which is difficult to melt, and in which there is no adhesion.
