    When my Mom and I made it, we used either Lipton or Nestea powder,
    and just added weater and ice.

    That not "real" tea, any more than instant coffee is real coffee.
    A few years ago I ran across instant root beer. It was in a small
    package (several to the box) and adding plain tap water made like a litre
    of root beer, and tastes really good.
    Only found that a couple of times and it disappeared. I think it was
    carried by Dollar General or Big Lots.

    Instant?? I thought it meant it quickly appeared. <G>

    There used to be a product called "Charlie O". You got deal that you
    filled up with water, and attached it to the CO2 dispenser, to get
    carbonated water. Then, you put the carbonated water into a glass, add
    your desired beverage syrup flavor, stir it up, and drink away.

    I haven't seen them in years, and they may be long gone.
