Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered orange drink mix (or orange-flavored Kool-Aid without sugar)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (or adjust to taste)
- 1 cup instant unsweetened iced tea powder (optional, for extra depth like original Tang)
- ½ cup powdered lemonade mix
- 1 teaspoon citric acid (adds tanginess and preserves freshness)
- 1 teaspoon dried orange zest (optional, for natural flavor boost)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the powdered ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
- Store in an airtight container or jar.
- To serve: Add 2–3 tablespoons of mix per 8 ounces (1 cup) of cold water, stir well, and enjoy!
👉 Optional twist: Add sparkling water instead of still water for a fizzy, fun version.
Why Make Tang at Home?
- Healthier control: Reduce sugar or swap in a natural sweetener like stevia.
- Custom flavors: Add lime powder, pineapple, or mango essence.
- Budget-friendly: Large homemade batches cost less than buying branded mixes.
Final Thoughts
Tang is more than just a powdered orange drink—it’s a piece of history, a spark of childhood magic, and a reminder of how a simple glass of sweetness could brighten an entire day.
👉 So the next time you crave that nostalgic taste, reach for a jar of Tang—or try the homemade version to relive the joy in your own kitchen. One sip, and you’ll feel like you’re right back at Grandma’s breakfast table. 💖
