Weis Lemon Sugar Sweetened Iced Tea Mix
What it is
This is a powdered mix designed to create sweetened iced tea with a lemon flavor. It contains sugar and dehydrated tea components, along with citric acid for tartness and artificial flavorings. The powder is formulated to dissolve easily in water, providing a convenient way to prepare a refreshing beverage without the need for brewing tea leaves or adding separate sweeteners and lemon juice.
How people cook with it
This mix is a quick solution for preparing a large batch of iced tea for gatherings or for personal enjoyment throughout the day.
- Quick pitcher of iced tea
- Refreshing drink base

To prepare, simply combine the recommended amount of the powdered mix with cold water in a pitcher. Stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or serve over ice in individual glasses. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired sweetness and flavor intensity. It can also be used as a base for more complex drinks by adding other fruits or spirits.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike brewed iced tea, this mix offers instant preparation without steeping time. It provides a consistent sweetness and lemon flavor in every serving, whereas brewed tea's strength and flavor can vary. The pre-sweetened nature also eliminates the need for separate sugar or sweetener additions.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining powder in its original container or an airtight canister in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping and affect the quality of the mix. Proper storage will maintain its flavor and solubility for future use.
