Signature Select Lemonade Drink Mix
What it is
This is a powdered mix designed to create a refreshing lemonade beverage. It contains citric acid for tartness, sugar for sweetness, and natural flavors to mimic the taste of fresh lemons. The powder is finely granulated, allowing it to dissolve easily in water. It is a convenient way to enjoy a classic citrus drink without the need for fresh lemons.
How people cook with it

To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of the powdered mix into a pitcher. Add cold water according to the package directions, typically a specific ratio of mix to water for optimal flavor. Stir thoroughly until all the powder is completely dissolved. For a stronger or weaker flavor, adjust the amount of mix or water used. Serve over ice for a chilled beverage. It can also be used as a base for other creative drinks.
