To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of powder into a pitcher. Add cold water according to the package directions, stirring until the powder is completely dissolved. For a stronger flavor, use less water. For a lighter taste, add more water. It can also be mixed with sparkling water for a fizzy version. Serve chilled over ice. Adjust sweetness and tartness by adding more water or a touch of lemon juice if desired.

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