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 mimicked copy cost about 15 cents -- for the same amount. 2 quarts (8 cups) water 3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1. Boil the water in a large saucepan over high heat. 2. When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover. 3. After the tea has steeped about 1 hour, pour the sugar into a 2-quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should still be warm, so the sugar will dissolve easily. 4. Add the lemon juice. Chill. Makes 2 quarts. |
