How to Make Lemonade From Powder Mix

Lemonade powder mixes come in a variety of flavors and can be purchased at most grocery stores. They are extremely easy to make as they require nothing more of the lemonade maker than following the instructions on the mix container. Here are a few ideas to make those instructions even easier.

Instructions

1

Decide on the type and amount of lemonade that you are making before buying your lemonade powder. Just as there are a variety of lemonade flavors, there are also a variety of lemonade powder ingredients. If you're diabetic or on a special diet, you may want to look for a powder with an artificial sweetener or with few added ingredients. Also, the amount of powder is important as you do not want to go home with too little or too much powder. Check the lemonade powder containers and packets for measurement equivalents based on serving or cup sizes.

2

Follow the measuring instructions provided with the powder and pour the powder and water amounts into your pitcher as instructed. Use warm or hot water, unless instructed otherwise, to dissolve the powder faster. If you live in or are originally from an area of the world where the carbonated water tradition is more popular, use one half the amount of normal water to dissolve the powder, skip to and follow the instructions in Step 3, and then add the carbonated remainder.

3

Mix the ingredients with your mixing spoon, or twist your cap tightly onto your drink bottle and shake vigorously. You now have lemonade.
