Summer is almost here so I thought it could be a nice idea to start preparing Summer drinks, like a frozen slush. I have found two recipes, very simple yet very tasty and I´d like to share them with you.

Here they are:

3/4 cup thawed pink lemonade concentrate
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
3/4 cup ice cubes
1 cup club soda

Directions

In a blender, combine the water, lemonade concentrate, strawberries
and ice cubes. Cover and process until blended.
Pour into a freezer container. Cover and freeze for at least 12 hours
or up to 3 months.
Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Stir in club
soda. Pour into chilled glasses; serve immediately.


2
Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
7 cups water
4 tea bags
2 cups boiling water
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 liters lemon soda or lime soda or ginger ale

Directions

Put 7 cups water in large saucepan, and heat on high until boiling.
Add sugar and stir until dissolved; set aside to cool.
Place teabags in 2 cups boiling water, and let steep until desired strength is acquired.
In a large bowl, mix together sugar water, tea, lemonade concentrate and orange juice concentrate.
Place in freezer container and freeze overnight.


I hope you find these recipes useful :)
