Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cold brew coffee or strongly brewed black tea cooled
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • 1 dash vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the cooled cold brew or black tea into the blender.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender, ensuring they fill the mixture at least halfway.
  3. Pour in the simple syrup or honey, and add a dash of vanilla extract for added aroma and sweetness.
  4. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, smooth, and frosty, about 30-60 seconds. You should see a velvety texture and a uniform, icy appearance.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it's too thick, add a splash of water or additional tea and blend briefly. If too thin, add more ice and blend again.
  6. Pour the chilled slushie into glasses, allowing the frosty mixture to mound attractively at the top.
  7. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon for a finishing touch.
  8. Enjoy immediately with a straw or spoon to savor the icy, creamy consistency.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of milk or dairy alternative before blending. You can also experiment with flavored syrups or spices for variation.
