What it is
This is a powdered beverage mix designed to create a sweet and refreshing lemon-flavored iced tea. It contains sugar and tea solids, along with flavorings, that dissolve in water. The convenience of a mix means you can quickly prepare a pitcher of iced tea without brewing tea leaves. It is a common pantry staple for those who enjoy a sweet, citrusy tea beverage, especially during warmer months.
How people cook with it
This mix is ideal for making large batches of iced tea for gatherings or for keeping chilled in the refrigerator for easy serving. It is a simple way to have a flavored drink on hand.
- Quick pitcher of iced tea

To prepare, simply measure the desired amount of the powdered mix into a pitcher. Add cold water and stir until the powder is completely dissolved. The amount of mix to water will depend on your preference for sweetness and tea flavor strength, but typically a few tablespoons per quart of water is a good starting point. Chill thoroughly before serving over ice. You can adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred taste.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike brewed iced tea, this mix offers instant preparation without the need for steeping tea bags or loose leaves. It also provides a consistent level of sweetness and lemon flavor in every batch, which can be harder to achieve with homemade brews. The sugar is pre-mixed, unlike unsweetened tea mixes.
