To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of the powdered mix into a pitcher. Add cold water according to the package directions, stirring thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved. For best results, ensure all the granules have dispersed. You can adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred strength and sweetness. Serve over ice for a chilled beverage. It can also be used to make a single serving by mixing a smaller portion with water in a glass.

Unlike traditional brewed iced tea, this mix offers instant preparation without steeping time. The 'half & half' aspect means it already incorporates a creamy element, unlike plain sweetened or unsweetened tea mixes, providing a richer flavor profile from the start.
