Select a blank cell you will put the concatenation result into, and enter the formula =CONCATENATE(Tea!A1," ",Coffee!A1," ",'Soft Drink'!A1," ",Milk!A1," ",Water!A1) (A1 is the cell whose content you will concatenate, Tea/Coffee/Soft Drink/Milk/Water are worksheet names containing the specific cell you need to concatenate) into it, and press the Enter key.
And then you will see contents of the specified cells from different sheets are concatenated into one cell. See screenshot:
