How do they make the powdered soft drink mixes? ie lemonade, crystal lite, iced tea mixes?

Well, they probably buy all the ingredients in powder form. The flavors and colors could be liquids that they mix in with the dry ingredients. They've done the product development to determine what ingredients to use and in what proportions. They probably mix the ingredients in a big blender. I'm sure the amount of each ingredient going in is automated. Then they package it %26amp; ship it.





The ingredients in my pink-lemonade flavored store brand knock-off of Crystal Lite are:


citric acid, maltodextrin, potassium citrate, natural lemon flavors, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, calcium silicate, magnesium oxide, gum arabic, artificial color, red 40 lake, and red 40.
