Snapple Iced Tea
(Lemon Flavor)
Here's a quick and easy recipe for the brand of ice tea that hit the
market and quickly blew away competitors Lipton and Nestea. Between 1988
and 1992 Snapple tea sales increased a whopping 1,300 percent. And if you
like Snapple ice tea, you'll find this recipe will save you some cash.
While a 16-ounce bottle of Snapple tea costs around $1.00, this top secret
clone cost about 15 cents -- for the same amount. Here now is the improved
version of the recipe that first appeared in "More Top Secret Recipes."
2 quarts (8 cups) water
2 Lipton tea bags (standard size)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup bottled lemon juice
Bring water to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Turn off heat, add tea
bags, cover saucepan and let the tea steep for 1 to 2 hours. Pour the
sugar into a 2-quart pitcher, and then add the tea. The tea will still be
warm, so the sugar will dissolve easily. Add the lemon juice. Chill.
Makes 2 quarts
