2) They found that boiling, and then simmering removes most of the 'green' or 'rawness' of the peppers. 1 pepper approximates the original, two is for those who like it hot. Notes: 1) Adjust the Habanero as desired. 6) Cool juice and place in a container in the refrigerator. 5) Reduce heat and simmer on low for two hours, stirring occasionally. 4) Place all ingredients and remaining tomato juice in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. 2) Add the salt, Ortega chilis, diced Jalapeno, and Habanero peppers. Directions: 1) Place two cups of the tomato juice in a blender. 4) 2 medium Habanero peppers, cored, seeded, and diced. 3) 1 large Jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded, and diced. 2) 1 4 ounce container of Ortega green chilis, well drained. So here is how they do it (ingredients): 1) 64 ounces of decent tomato juice. What they came up with is not perfect, but pretty darn good.

Since our engineers are powered by coffee, beer, chili cheese Fritos and spicy drinks, we figured we would set them on creating a decent substitute for the original Snap-E-Tom drink. To increase profits, generic chilis can be used.

The dilution has produced a drink nowhere near the original. Poor nationwide sales has sidelined the drink.

It was that delicious mix of tomato juice and Ortega chilis that was spicy and nutritious.
