Thick & Easy Iced Tea Lemon 4oz Cups 24ct
Thick & Easy® Thickened Iced Tea with Lemon — IDDSI Level 2, 4 oz Portion Cups
Ready-to-Drink Iced Tea, Pre-Thickened and Portion-Controlled
Thick & Easy® Thickened Iced Tea with Lemon brings a classic, refreshing flavor to individuals who need mildly thick liquids, pre-thickened to IDDSI Level 2 (Mildly Thick) consistency with no mixing, measuring, or preparation required. Each 4 oz portion cup is ready to drink straight from the case — chill and serve, or heat if a warm beverage is preferred.
The easy-peel foil barrier seal removes quickly and cleanly to minimize spills, and because it's pre-thickened at a reliable, consistent level, there's no risk of a mixing error under- or over-thickening the drink. Each serving provides the full recommended daily requirement for Vitamin C, and the beverage is kosher, gluten-free, and lactose-free. This case of 24 individual cups suits both home use and facility dining service.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Portion cups solve the two biggest practical headaches of thickened beverages — consistency and mess. Because each cup is thickened to the same verified level at the factory, there's no risk of a staff member's mixing technique producing a slightly-off result from cup to cup, which matters when a specific IDDSI level has been prescribed. The foil peel-seal also genuinely reduces spill risk during serving compared to an open cup or a self-mixed drink, useful in any setting where the person is served rather than preparing their own beverage. If warming it, follow the timing guidance closely and never exceed 150°F — verify with an actual thermometer rather than estimating, since microwave power varies enough to matter.

⚠ Allergen Information: No major allergens identified in the ingredient list above. As with any food product, verify current allergen status against the physical product label before serving to anyone with a food allergy.
Q: Do I need to mix or thicken this myself?
A: No — it's pre-thickened to IDDSI Level 2 at the factory and ready to drink straight from the cup. There's no measuring, mixing, or risk of an inconsistent result.
Q: Can I serve it warm?
A: Yes — pour into a microwave-safe cup and heat on HIGH, adjusting time based on whether it's room temperature or refrigerated. Never exceed 150°F, and always verify temperature with a digital thermometer rather than estimating, since microwave power varies. Stir well before serving.
Q: How long does it stay fresh once opened?
A: Check the "best by" date on the case and use promptly once the foil seal is opened, following standard food safety practice. Unopened cups are shelf-stable; verify current storage guidance against the physical packaging.
