Back in 1995 when I cloned Snapple iced teas in the book More Top Secret Recipes, I picked several varieties of the tea and used either concentrated juices or extracts for the fruity essence. Since that time, Snapple was sold to Quaker and the less popular flavors have been retired to the land of the dead foods. But a clone for one of the most popular flavors of ice tea eluded me back then, since there was no common extract or juice concentrate to depend on for that flavor. Bummer too, since Snapples raspberry iced tea was then, and is now, a top seller. Today, thanks to the popularity of flavored coffee drinks, we have available a huge selection of flavored syrups in scads of local supermarkets. Its those Italian syrups by Torani in the colorful bottles that I'm talking about. Snag some of the raspberry flavor and you can finally clone this much delayed secret recipe for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. |

2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup bottled lemon juice
2 tablespoons Torani raspberry flavoring syrup

1. Bring water to a rapid boil in a large saucepan.
2. Turn off heat, add tea bags, cover saucepan and let it steep for 1 hour.
3. Pour the sugar into a 2-quart pitcher, then add the tea. The water will still be hot and the sugar will dissolve easily.
4. Add the lemon juice and raspberry syrup, then cover and chill.
Makes 2 quarts.

| If you can't find the Torani, use Monin. It's very good. You can find it at T.J. Maxx and some restuarant supply stores that are open to the public. This is one of my favorite drinks! |

| Didn't find Torani syrup, but found Daily's Fruit Mixers raspberry flavoring syrup with the other mixed drink flavors are ... like marguerita mix, bloody mary, etc....
Don't know if it tastes like Snapple, but it is EXCELLENT!! A very refreshing change from plain iced tea. Sometimes I add an extra tbsp. of raspberry flavoring. I was so thrilled to find this recipe! |

| This is real good. However, I found it hard to find those flavored syrup things, but I did find raspberry extract and tried that. 1 or 2 teaspoons of raspberry extract works just as good in my opinion. |
