Recipe: Like Snapple Iced Tea (5)

Hello Jane,

I had this in my files from an old rec.food posting.
If you follow the Strawberry tea recipe, using Raspberry
extract you might get a similar drink.

Snapple Iced Teas
From the book by Todd Wilbur.

LEMON
2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend)
3/4 cup granulated sugar or one 16-ounce bottle light corn syrup
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice

DIET LEMON
2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 lipton tea bags
Twelve 1-gram envelopes Sweet'n Low or Equal sweetener
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

ORANGE
2 quarts water
3 Lipton tea bags
3/4 cup sugar or 16-ounce lighty corn syrup
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon orange extract

STRAWBERRY
2 quarts water
3 Lipton tea bags
3/4 cup sugar or 16-ounce light corn syrup
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon strawberry extract

CRANBERRY
2 quarts water
3 Lipton tea bags
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Ocean Spray cranberry juice cocktail concentrate

For any of the flavors, boil the water in a large saucepan. When the
water comes to a rapid boil, turn off heat, put the tea bags into the
water, and cover. After the tea has brewed about 1 hour, pour the sugar
or sweetener into 2-quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should
still be warm, so the sugar or sweetener will dissolve easily. Add the
flavoring ingredients (plus additional water if needed to bring the tea
to the 2-quart line). Chill
