Method for producing mixed products in batches, in particular for producing mixed products in the form of drinks, in each case by mixing at least one additional component with at least one liquid main component, using a single mixing container, from which the finished mixed product is removed by way of a line for further use, wherein the mixing container is provided with - an outlet (2.1) in the base of the mixing container; - a metering and delivery device serves to provide for the metered feeding of a solid or dried additional component into the mixing container, and for this purpose opens into the upper region of the mixing container; - a metering line with a first control valve, which serves to introduce a liquid additional component into the mixing container and for this purpose likewise opens into the upper region of the mixing container - a first line with a second control valve and a flow meter, which serves to feed the main component into the mixing container and for this purpose opens into this container with a first inlet, and preferably with a second inlet (9.1); - a second line connected to the outlet (2.1) of the mixing container with a temperature sensor and/or filling level sensor, with a pump, and with a measuring device between the outlet (2.1) and a connection; - a filling level sensor; - a third line with a third control valve, which serves to remove the finished mixed product from the mixing container and out of the system, and for this purpose is connected to the connection; - a fourth line with a fourth control valve, and for this purpose opens with a third inlet into the lower region of the mixing container and is likewise connected to the container, wherein the inlets of the metering and feeding device, of the metering line, and the first and, as applicable, second inlets (9, 9.1) are located in a vertical direction over the outlet (2.1) of the mixing container and above the third inlet of the fourth line, wherein the at least one additional component is already fed to the mixing container by the metering and delivery device and/or via the metering line, and the at least one main component is then fed via the first line, if there is still finished mixed product in the mixing container and this is removed from the mixing container via the third line, such that, when the mixed product has been completely removed, the mixing container is already filled so far with fresh main component that a start can immediately be made with the delivery of the at least one additional main component by the metering and delivery device and/or the metering line, and with the corresponding mixing, wherein, during mixing, in order to reduce the mixing time in the mixing container, the components are heated to a higher mixing temperature, for example to a temperature of between 40 °C and 90 °C, for example to a temperature of between 80 °C and 85 °C, and/or to a temperature which has the effect of pasteurising the mixed product. - an outlet (2.1) in the base of the mixing container; - a metering and delivery device serves to provide for the metered feeding of a solid or dried additional component into the mixing container, and for this purpose opens into the upper region of the mixing container; - a metering line with a first control valve, which serves to introduce a liquid additional component into the mixing container and for this purpose likewise opens into the upper region of the mixing container - a first line with a second control valve and a flow meter, which serves to feed the main component into the mixing container and for this purpose opens into this container with a first inlet, and preferably with a second inlet (9.1); - a second line connected to the outlet (2.1) of the mixing container with a temperature sensor and/or filling level sensor, with a pump, and with a measuring device between the outlet (2.1) and a connection; - a filling level sensor; - a third line with a third control valve, which serves to remove the finished mixed product from the mixing container and out of the system, and for this purpose is connected to the connection; - a fourth line with a fourth control valve, and for this purpose opens with a third inlet into the lower region of the mixing container and is likewise connected to the container,
