Note
Storage: Keep the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will maintain its freshness and flavor for several months.
Variations: For a warmer beverage, use hot water. For a refreshing cold drink, mix with ice water or over ice cubes. You can also adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of mix per serving.
Ingredient Note: If you cannot find Tang, you can substitute with a high-quality powdered lemonade mix, though the flavor profile may vary slightly. Ensure your instant tea is unsweetened for best control over sweetness.
