Tea, lemon, instant powder, with water

Instant lemon tea is a drink made by mixing lemon-flavoured tea powder with water. The figures here describe the prepared drink, rather than the dry powder. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate supplied as sugars. Per 100g, it provides 34 kJ of energy, 2.1g of sugars, 5mg of vitamin C and 0.01g of salt.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. The concentration of the drink depends on how much powder is added to the water. Full nutrient figures for this preparation are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Calculated from 6g powder to 225ml water). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Miscelleanous Foods Supplement, 1994.
