To prepare, measure the recommended amount of powdered mix into a pitcher. Add the specified quantity of cold water, stirring until the powder is completely dissolved. For a stronger flavor, use less water. For a lighter taste, add more. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding a little extra sugar or a sugar substitute if desired. Serve chilled over ice for the best experience. It can also be used as a base for frozen slushies or popsicles.
