Snapple Peach Tea (Top Secret Recipes by Todd Wilbur)

Heather'sKitchen's Note:

My husband loves Snapple peach tea but prefers me to make this recipe because it containes *no high fructose corn syrup*. It's a sweet tea but the sugar can be altered to individual taste. I posted the recipe as Todd Wilbur wrote it but I added my DH's preferences at the end of the directions(so I wouldn't lose them and have to experiment again!).

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 quarts water
• 2 lipton tea bags
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice, plus
• 1 tablespoon bottled lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons peach coffee syrup, Torani brand (any fruit flavor Torani syrup can be substituted here)

Directions:

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 water will still be warm and the sugar should dissolve easily.
4. Add the lemon juice and the peach syrup.
5. Stir, cover and chill.
6. DH prefers this made with 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup Torani peach syrup.

I've made this twice now. Once with lemon juice and once without. We liked it better without the lemon juice. Used 1/4 cup of splenda and 1/4 cup of SF raspberry syrup as I couldn't find the peach syrup. Thanks for posting this Heather. Made for Comfort Cafe - Winter 2010.

Really good tea! As the other TSR Snapple clones use 3 tea bags, I used a family sized tea bag, which is about 3, and otherwise followed the recipe, with the exception of using Splenda instead of sugar. I'm going to have to make a run to CostPlus, as that's the only place around here that carries Torani, and I want to try this with other flavors. Don't be scared of the long steep time... that's what gives it that edge that Snapple has to it.

Very Good!!! Thanks for sharing! I have already shared this recipe with a neighbor, and she is going to make it also!!! Didn't need to make any changes, sweetness was just right for us!
