Method
- Brew 2 cups of strong tea and let it cool to room temperature.
- Pour 4 cups of water into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add 2 cups of sugar to the boiling water and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- While the syrup cools, juice the oranges, lemons, and limes to yield 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1/2 cup lime juice and strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Pour the cooled simple syrup, cooled tea, 1 cup of brandy, and all citrus juices into a 9x13-inch freezer-safe container and stir thoroughly.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a freezer-safe lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.
- After 6 hours, remove the container and break up any frozen sections with a fork, stirring well to incorporate all icy parts.
- Repeat the freezing and stirring process every 6 hours for the first 24 hours to prevent large ice crystals.
- Once fully frozen, scoop the slush into chilled glasses and serve immediately, optionally topping with a splash of club soda or ginger ale.
Notes
Stir the slush every 6 hours during the first 24 hours of freezing for the creamiest texture. Store in a covered container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
