Ingredients
- 7 cups Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 4 bags Black tea bags
- 12 ounces Frozen orange juice concentrate
- 12 ounces Frozen lemonade concentrate
- 2 cups Vodka
- 24 ounces Lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite or 7Up) for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the black tea bags to the boiling water and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and set the tea aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine 5 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 4
Add the brewed tea, frozen orange juice concentrate, and frozen lemonade concentrate to the sugar-water mixture. Stir until the concentrates are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add 2 cups of vodka to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a large, freezer-safe container with a lid. Place the container in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight. The mixture will not freeze solid due to the alcohol content but will develop a slushy consistency.
Step 7
To serve, scoop the vodka slush into glasses and top off each serving with lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine and enjoy immediately.
