ABSTRACT:
A lid for a disposable hot beverage container that is specifically designed to hold a pastry over the hot beverage. This enables the steam from the beverage to heat, flavor and moisten the pastry. The lid includes an engagement mechanism that enables the lid to be selectively joined to the rim of the hot beverage container. The lid has a plurality of apertures formed through its base structure that enable steam from the beverage to rise through the lid. A plurality of supports extend upwardly from the base structure. The supports all terminate in a common plane a predetermined height above the base structure. The supports hold the pastry a predetermined distance above the base structure of the lid. As a result, if liquid were to spill onto the lid, or if steam were to condense onto the lid, the pastry would be supported above the liquid and would be saved from becoming soggy.
