Ask and ye shall receive.....You can always substitute artificial sweetener for the wicked nasty sugar!
Snapple Ice Tea
2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice1. Boil the water in a large saucepan over high heat.
2. When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover.
3. After the tea has steeped about 1 hour, pour the sugar into a 2- quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should still be warm, so the sugar will dissolve easily.
4. Add the lemon juice. Chill. Makes 2 quartsFor Diet Lemon:
12 - 1 gram envelopes sweet n' low or equal
1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp lemon juiceFor Orange:
3/4 cup sugar (or 1 16 oz. bottle light corn syrup)

Thanks Cheryl! I do use real sugar, just trying to use less of it.

I forgot to mention that those Snapple Teas recipes came from the Budget101 website - they also have a great forum on Yahoo Groups - all kinds of "Make Your Own" stuff.
