Directions
-
Place the green tea bags into a heat-proof container and pour the 2 cups of boiling water over them. Let steep for 5 minutes, then remove the bags and allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature.
-
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the 7 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Add the cooled green tea, frozen orange juice concentrate, frozen lemonade concentrate, and your chosen alcohol to the sugar water mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Pour the mixture into a large, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours, or until the mixture is frozen solid.
-
Before serving, remove the container from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spoon or use an immersion blender to break up ice crystals and achieve a slushy consistency.
