It's time to jazz up your Friday movie night with this viral recipe that gained traction on TikTok. This simple recipe calls for combining the best of citrus flavors and popcorn. All you have to do is mix lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt with popcorn to prepare a refreshing snack.
The fondness that many people have for the familiar flavors of Sprite and Lipton tea led to this precarious, cold-steeping beverage.
