Equipment

  • 1-Gallon Ice Cream Bucket with Lid (or other large, freezer-safe container)
  • Large Pot
  • Measuring Cups
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Ice Cream Scoop (for serving)

Ingredients

  • 8 Cups water
  • 1 + ½ Cups granulated sugar
  • 4 black tea bags (I use decaf Lipton)
  • 1 , 12-ounce container frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 , 12-ounce container frozen yellow lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 2 Cups brandy (Korbel is preferred)
  • lemon-lime soda for serving (7up is preferred)

Instructions

  • Make the sweet tea base. In a large pot, bring the water and sugar to a low boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar completely. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Let them steep 5-10 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags. Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature.
    8 Cups water, 1 + ½ Cups granulated sugar, 4 black tea bags
  • Transfer to your freezing container and add the concentrates and brandy. Pour the cooled tea mixture into a large ice cream pail. Stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, and brandy. Mix everything together until well combined.

  • Freeze overnight. Cover the pail with its lid and place in the freezer for at least 12 hours or overnight. The mixture will freeze into a slushy consistency (not completely solid).
  • Scoop and serve with soda. When ready to serve, scoop the frozen slush into a glass until it's about ½ - ⅔ full. Top with lemon-lime soda and give it a gentle stir.
