Abstract
The present invention provides novel and improved processes designed for dehydrating natural products and creating a liquid infused with the dehydrated natural products. The process comprises the steps of selecting a natural product out of which to create the infusion. Once selected the natural product is then dehydrated to a moisture content of 10-25%. Following the dehydration step, the natural product is placed in a microwave vacuum device for additional dehydration under negative pressure and elevated temperature between 120-220 degrees Fahrenheit. Following the microwave vacuum step, the natural product is rapidly cooled to between 36-60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cooled natural product is then granulated or ground to improve its suitability for infusion. To make the infusion, the ground or granulated natural product is exposed to a liquid.
