Almost Strawberry Snapple Iced Tea

Ingredients
2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend)
3/4 cup granulated sugar or one 16 ounce bottle light corn syrup
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon strawberry extract

Instructions
Boil the water in a large saucepan. When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover. After the tea has brewed about 1 hour, pour the sugar or sweetener into a 2-quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should still be warm, so the sugar or sweetener will dissolve easily. Add the flavoring ingredients (plus additional water if needed to bring the tea to the 2-quart line). Chill.

Yield: 2 quarts

Answer 2

The best copy cat recipe would be Bennigan's buffalo wings and Bennigan's buffalo shrimp that they used to have on their menu years ago.

I buy a box of breaded shrimp, then deep fry or bake them until they are crunchy. I mix Frank's hot sauce and a little butter together in a bowl and heat it up in the microwave until the butter melts. Then I pour the sauce over the shrimp, and serve with Marie's bleu cheese dressing.

As for the buffalo wings, I do the same for the sauce that I do for the shrimp. BUT, I season the wings with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Then, I flour the wings and deep fry them in oil until browned. Then, I coat the wings with the hot sauce and serve with the bleu cheese dressing. Both recipes are very good clones.
