This is really good! I was buying it from a local store over the winter and got used to having it a a relaxing treat after a difficult day. When the store stopped carrying it, because it was seasonal, I immediately searched for it and found this large package on sale. This large package is much easier than having to carry home multiple small boxes with only four packets per box. I love all the flavors. If you add the recommended amount of water, it’s sweeter. If you add extra water, it’s not as sweet. It’s nice to be able to make it taste as sweet as you want it to taste. The mint isn’t overwhelming in this brand. It’s pleasant. I usually add extra water so that it isn’t as sweet. Adding milk also decreases the sweetness and makes it richer. I’m planning to experiment with it over the summer by using it to make ice cream, shakes and other cold drinks. The plain chocolate and raspberry flavor might make good smoothies. It probably needs hot water to dissolve properly, but it can easily be cooled and then refrigerated for use later, especially if you make some in the morning for use later in the day. The package I received had three boxes with twelve packets per box. The boxes have sections that can be removed to make access easier and storage simpler. They all have expiration dates over a year away. The smaller boxes that I bought locally had recipes on the boxes. These don’t, but the recipes are probably available online under the brand information. The raspberry flavor has an interesting mug cake recipe that I haven’t tried yet. I can’t imagine anyone not liking at least one flavor of this brand because it’s so easy to prepare and so easy to control the level of sweetness. It’s smooth and not gritty, but you can allow a little to settle at the bottom for a blast of delicious flavor at the very end. That’s my favorite part.
