To prepare, simply combine the desired amount of the powdered mix with cold water. Stir well until the powder is completely dissolved.

Chill the tea thoroughly before serving over ice. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less mix. It is designed to be a complete sweetener and flavor solution.

Unlike loose leaf tea or tea bags, this mix already contains sugar and flavorings, eliminating the need for separate sweetening and steeping. It offers a consistent sweetness and flavor profile that can be difficult to achieve consistently with manual brewing and sweetening methods.
