CATEGORY: DRINKS

Fake Snapple-Lemonade Iced Tea - From Celestial Seasonings, with my changes:
I boil UP some water on the stove with two cups of white sugar, stirring to dissolve, then add 8 herbal tea bags, one or two varieties (a Berry flavor and a Fruit flavor are best) and turn off the heat. Let cool (while it steeps) and then pour half in a 2 qt pitcher, the other half into your other 2 qt pitcher. Add half a cup of lemon juice to each pitcher (you don't have to squeeze it yourself, the prepared stuff is fine) and fill the rest of the pitcher up with water. YUM! ENJOY!!!

Apple Punch
In pitcher, put half apple juice, half water with approx 1/3 sugar and three Celestial Seasonings tea bags; lemon zinger or red zinger is very popular with us.

Oj, pureed strawberries, sprite or 7up (or seltzer since it's probably sweet enough anyway).

BTW, why do you need to be amother to ask this? In case someone sees you serve it and guesses where you found the recipe?

Here's an easy one:

1- 46 oz can of Pineapple juice
½ gallon OJ
½ cup cherry or punch drink mix

Dilute drink mix in ½ cup hot water. Mix e/t together. Optional: add sliced kiwi and strawberries sliced thinly in the pitcher to give a nice look.

This has always been a hit when I've served it!

Similar to some of CM's recipes:

1/3 cranberry juice
1/3 orange juice
1/3 7-Up or any lemon-lime pop*

* "soda" to you non-Chicagoans

Sorry I wasn't clear in my question. How much water do you boil up first for the tea bags and sugar?

Chocolate Moose, I must give you a huge thanks. I made that fake snapple drink and it was just yummmm! I love it and am writing down the recipe so that I can easily find it next time. I also hope you don't mind if I give this recipe to my friend, she'll love it. It's so her type of drink.
