Tips

Use regular lemonade. Diet and sugar-free drinks freeze rock hard and will not turn slushy.
Green tea works in place of black tea for a lighter, paler slush.
Too thick to sip? Add 2–4 tbsp cold lemonade and run Re-spin.

Why it works

Tea and lemonade with a little extra sugar land near 10% sugar, which freezes into soft crystals. Crushing the mint with sugar pulls its oils out fast.
