Ingredients
- 7 cups water divided
- 4 black tea bags or green tea bags (see note 1)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) container frozen lemonade concentrate thawed (see note 2)
- 1 (12 ounce) container frozen orange juice concentrate thawed
- 2 cups brandy
- lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, for serving (see note 3)
- lemon and orange wedges, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups water to boil. Add tea bags and steep 3 to 5 minutes. Discard bags and stir in sugar until dissolved.
- In a 1 gallon plastic ice cream pail or other container, combine remaining 5 cups water, sweetened tea, both frozen juice concentrates, and brandy. Freeze at least 8 hours or overnight.
- To serve, add 1/2 cup Brandy Slush to a glass. Top with lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Garnish with orange and lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Store in a freezer safe, airtight container in the freezer.
- Black tea or green tea: Pick either or both. For ease, I call for tea bags instead of loose leaf.
- Frozen lemonade concentrate: Limeade concentrate or pink lemonade concentrate will also work, as long as they're frozen too. This helps the cocktail recipe score its signature slush texture.
- Lemon-lime soda: Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist; take your pick, then use this to top off each Brandy Slush just before serving. Opt for lemon-lime, lemon, lime, or plain sparkling water if you prefer your drinks a little less sweet.
- Yield: This Brandy Slush recipe makes 12 servings. Scale up or down as desired to serve your crowd (but keep in mind that extras save well in the freezer).
- Storage: Store in a freezer safe, airtight container in the freezer.
