How to Make Citrus Slush For Grownups
- Steep 4 black tea bags in 2 cups of boiling water for 20 minutes. Remove tea bags and let the tea cool completely.
- In a saucepan, combine 7 cups of water and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is clear.
- Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and let it cool completely.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, cooled sugar syrup, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup lemon juice, ½ cup lime juice, and 1 cup vodka or rum (adjust to taste).
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Pour the mixture into large, freezer-safe plastic containers (approximately half-gallon size).
- Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, until a slushy consistency is achieved.
- To serve: Scoop the slush into old-fashioned glasses. Add soda water to your liking.
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a sprig of mint, if desired.
