Slushy Southern Fruit Tea Punch

Whenever I entertain I always like to serve up some Slushy Southern Fruit Tea Punch. That's because when you're a Southern girl, way up here in the Northwest, you gotta keep the Southern traditions and hospitality alive and happening! I've been making Southern Fruit Tea Punch forever. It's always a hit! It's cold and slushy and fun to sip. It takes sweet tea to a new level.

 It's been featured before with blended bananas. 

 Dole juice is the star ingredient in this tea. 

 Here's what you need: 1 carton of Dole Orange Juice {any flavor, I like Orange~Pineapple & Bananas} 

1 can of Dole Pineapple frozen concentrate juice 

6 family size tea bags 

2 cups sugar {you can substitute with Splenda or Stevia} 

1 2-liter ginger ale 

Begin by brewing the tea. Let the tea steep for awhile so it's strong. Make sure it's still warm so it dissolves the sugar. Pour sugar in a plastic container with lid. Pour the warm tea over sugar to dissolve. 

Now take the Dole juice. Pour frozen concentrate into tea mix. Add carton of juice. Stir it up mixing with tea. Seal with plastic lid. Place in freezer along with ginger ale. Let the ginger ale and tea mix freeze until slushy. You can freeze the tea punch over night and take it out 30 minutes or so before serving to get slushy. Don't let the ginger ale freeze. The ginger ale should just be slushy. Have a glass pitcher ready. Sit the glass pitcher in fridge to get cold. When the fruit tea is slushy it's ready to pour up. Scoop out slushy fruit tea into chilled glass pitcher. Pour slushy ginger ale over slushy fruit tea.
WARNING: Be careful opening ginger ale that has been freezing. Once I was hosting a dinner party and the ginger ale exploded in my face when I was unscrewing the top. Seriously. It made the most gigantic~explosive sound. Everyone came running in the kitchen. I swear I didn't know if I still had eyeballs. Plus, it exploded all over a $300 white sweater. Trust me. Be gentle opening up frozen ginger ale. Don't say I didn't warn you. There you have it!
Slushy Southern Fruit Tea Punch If you make this once, you'll make it over and over again.
Try it! You're going to love it!
ENJOY the party!
