Christmas Slush

Course: Drinks

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Cups Boiling water
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 8 Black Tea Packets
  • 1 12 oz Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
  • 1 12 oz Frozen Lemonade Concentrate
  • 2-4 Cups Brandy or Whiskey depending on how strong you like it
  • Sprite
  • Marachino Cherries

Equipment

  • 1 Empty Ice Cream Pail

Method
 

  1. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil on your stovetop
  2. Once the water is boiling add in 2 cups of sugar and whisk to dissolve
  3. Remove the water/sugar mixture from the heat and add in the 8 tea packets. Cover and allow to steep for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the tea packets and add in the orange juice and lemonade concentrate
  5. When the mixture is completely cooled, add it to the empty ice cream pail
  6. Stir in your liqour of choice. For brandy, we like Korbel. For Whiskey, Jim Beam. I use 3 cups when I make it for our family.
  7. Cover the bucket and if it's cold enough, set it outside to freeze. You can also use your freezer.
  8. It won't freeze completely becuase of the alcohol, but it will turn into slush. Scoop out portions into a cup and top with sprite. Garnish with marashino cherries, Enjoy!
