Lemon Iced Tea Mix
What it is
This is a powdered beverage mix designed to create a refreshing lemon-flavored iced tea. It typically contains sugar, citric acid, instant tea powder, and natural lemon flavorings. The convenience of a mix means you can quickly prepare a cold drink without brewing tea leaves or squeezing fresh lemons. It offers a consistent taste and sweetness in every serving.

To prepare, simply combine the recommended amount of the powdered mix with cold water in a pitcher. Stir well until the powder is completely dissolved. You can adjust the amount of mix and water to achieve your desired strength and sweetness. Serve over ice for an extra chill. It can also be used to make large batches for gatherings. For a less sweet option, you can use less mix or dilute with more water.
