Sunny Delight
If you love the taste of Sunny D but wish it was made with more than just 5 percent real fruit juice, this is the recipe for you. Rustle up some frozen juice concentrates and let them thaw out before measuring. Since tangerine juice concentrate is tough to find on its own, I designed the recipe to use the orange tangerine blend concentrate from Minute Maid.
6 Cups water
1 cup corn syrup
1 1/3 cup frozen concentrated Minute Maid orange tangerine juice, thawed
6 tablespoons frozen concentrated apple juice, thawed
2 tablespoons frozen concentrated limeade, thawed
4 teaspoons frozen concentrated grapefruit juice, thawed
1 teaspoon Kool-Aid lemonade unsweetened drink mix
1. Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart pitcher. Stir well.
2. Chill for several hours before serving.

Snapple® Iced Tea (Lemon Flavor)
Here’s a quick and easy recipe for the brand of ice tea that hit the market and quickly blew away competitors Lipton and Nestea. Between 1988 and 1992 Snapple tea sales increased a whopping 1,300 percent. And if you like Snapple ice tea, you’ll find this recipe will save you some cash. While a 16-ounce bottle of Snapple tea costs around $1.00, this top secret clone cost about 15 cents — for the same amount. Here now is the improved version of the recipe that first appeared in “More Top Secret Recipes.”
2 quarts (8 cups) water
2 Lipton tea bags
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup bottled lemon juice
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 tea will still be warm, so the sugar will dissolve easily.
4. Add the lemon juice. Chill.

Starbucks® Mocha Coconut Frappuccino®
Here’s Starbucks newest delight that’s like a cold Mounds bar in a cup with a caffeine kick thrown in for extra buzzing. Find shredded coconut in the baking aisle and toast 1/2 cup of it (store the leftover coconut in the fridge). You’ll use most of the toasted coconut in the blender, but save a little for the garnish when the drinks are done.
1/2 cup shredded coconut
3/4 cup double strength coffee
1 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup Hershey’s chocolate syrup
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups ice
Garnish
Whipped cream
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast coconut in the oven. Stir the coconut around every 10 minutes or so for even browning. After 25 to 30
minutes the shredded coconut should be light brown. Cool it off.
2. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker. That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
3. To make the drinks, combine cold coffee, milk, 1/3 cup of the toasted coconut, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup, and sugar in a blender. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds to dissolve sugar. Add ice and
blend until ice is crushed and the drink is smooth. Pour drinks into two 16-ounce glasses. Garnish each drink with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate, and a pinch of some of the remaining toasted coconut. Add a straw to each one.
