Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups brewed black tea cooled
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Equipment

  • Tea kettle
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Brew the tea using a tea kettle, then transfer it to a container and allow it to cool completely in the refrigerator. This ensures a refreshing and chilled base for the slushie.
  2. Pour the cooled tea into your blender, then add the honey or sugar, allowing the sweetener to dissolve thoroughly as the liquid blends.
  3. Add the ice cubes to the blender, filling it up to the top. This is what creates the icy, slushie texture as you blend.
  4. Blend the mixture on high until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a vibrant, frosty beverage with a bumpy, icy texture.
  5. Pause the blender and check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash of extra cooled tea and blend again briefly to loosen it up.
  6. Pour the finished slushie into glasses, garnish with a lemon wheel or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately while icy and cold.

Notes

For an extra flavor twist, add a splash of fruit juice or fresh herbs before blending.
