instant tea

Just-add-water beverage

Instant tea is tea processed into a powder or granules that dissolve in water, eliminating the need for brewing.

Like instant coffee, it trades some flavor for convenience: She stirred instant tea into a glass of cold water.

Often sweetened and flavored, it's a staple for quick iced tea.
