Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups brewed and cooled black tea (Assam or English Breakfast recommended)
- 2 cups chilled lemonade (freshly squeezed or good-quality bottled)
- 3 cups ice cubes (about 18 ounces or 510 grams)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- Fresh lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 2 cups (480 ml) of strong black tea using 2-3 tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let the tea cool completely.
- Prepare 2 cups (480 ml) of lemonade by squeezing fresh lemons or using bottled lemonade. Add sugar or simple syrup to taste and chill thoroughly.
- Add the cooled tea, chilled lemonade, and 3 cups (510 g) of ice cubes into a blender.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or simple syrup depending on desired sweetness.
- Pulse the blender on high for 30-45 seconds until the ice is crushed and the mixture is slushy but still pourable. Adjust thickness by adding water or more ice as needed.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Use strong brewed black tea for best flavor. Chill tea and lemonade before blending to achieve optimal slushie texture. Pulse blender in short bursts to avoid watery consistency. Fresh ice cubes crush better than old or crushed ice. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer and re-blend before serving.
