Orange-flavoured instant drink powder, often called portakal çayı in Turkey, is a nostalgic drink many people remember from childhood visits and school trips. It is a fruit-flavoured drink mix rather than a brewed tea, and it dissolves quickly in water.
The Ali Baba box suggests stirring two small spoons into a glass of hot water, or one tablespoon into a glass of cold water, and sweetening to taste if you like. Hot, it is a bright, citrusy alternative to black tea on a winter afternoon; over plenty of ice it turns into an easy summer cooler for children and adults alike. It is good with plain biscuits, simple pastries and Turkish cookies.
Store the box in a cool, dry place and keep it closed after use. Please read the ingredient, colour and allergen details printed on the pack you receive before serving.
