    When my Mom and I made it, we used either Lipton or Nestea powder,

    That not "real" tea, any more than instant coffee is real coffee.

    But they both started from the real thing before being processed... at
    least theoretically... ;)

    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.

    Big Lots tends to carry closeout things... here today and once it's
    gone, never to be seen again.... :)

    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.

    Don't remember ever seeing that particular product... but I have seen
    the SodaStream (or whatever it's called) in action, and that's pretty
    much the same thing... Those should still be available.... :)
