How can you dehydrate powder?!
I just opened up a box of Tang, and it turns out it was put in a place that was extremely hydrated. The powder now is clumped up and solid. Is there any possible way to dehydrate this powder to regain the normal powdery powder so that I can easily make the Tang instead of spending 15 minutes hitting the powder with a knife trying to hit some loose so that I can drink?
Thanks in advance.

No. Bring it back to the store if it was like that when you bought it. Otherwise just toss it.
I have a coffee mill. It grinds coffee beans or spices like nutmeg into a powder. if you have one, that's my first suggestion. If not, bang out a huge chunk, put the tang in a plastic bag. seal it so most of the air is out (it is flat) then whack away w/the heaviest thing you have like a rolling pin, or a metal weight or a tin can. Or, maybe put it in the microwave, dry heat might help.
no once it is clumped like that it is impossible to get it back like it was. the best thing to do is throw it out and get a new one.
Try the microwave make sure there is no metallic lid on it or the label. If you can get it out, a food processor works great.
I have done it with brown sugar many times.
