Heres 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 $1.50, 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

1. Bring water to a rapid boil in a large saucepan.

2. Turn off heat, add tea bags, cover saucepan and let the tea steep for 1 to 2 hours.

3. 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.

4. Add the lemon juice. Chill.

Makes 2 quarts.
