To prepare, empty the contents of the packet into a pitcher. Add the recommended amount of cold water, typically one gallon. Stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved. Ensure all granules are gone for a consistent flavor. It can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator. For a less sweet taste, you can adjust the amount of water slightly, though this may affect the intensity of the berry flavor. It is best enjoyed cold.
