Ingredients
- 2 cups Strong brewed black tea
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cups Light rum
- 3 cups Water
- 2 cups Lemon-lime soda
Directions
Step 1
Brew a strong batch of black tea and measure out 2 cups. Allow it to cool completely.
Step 2
In a large mixing container or bowl, combine the cooled tea, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, rum, and water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a large freezer-safe container, such as a plastic storage box, and place it in the freezer.
Step 4
Every 2-3 hours, check the mixture and use a fork to stir and break up the forming ice crystals. This will help create a slush-like consistency. Repeat until the entire mixture is frozen and slushy (typically takes 6-8 hours).
Step 5
When ready to serve, scoop the rum slush into glasses (about halfway full).
Step 6
Top each glass with lemon-lime soda to your desired level of fizziness and stir gently to combine.
Step 7
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
