What it is
This is a powdered drink mix designed to create a refreshing beverage with a forest fruit flavor.

To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of powdered mix into a glass or pitcher. Add cold water according to the package directions, usually a specific ratio of powder to water.

Adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred flavor intensity. It can also be used as a base for other drink creations.
