Arnold Palmer Slush

Directions

1. 1Combine the sweet tea and lemonade in a pitcher in equal parts.

3. 3Pour the half-and-half into the Slushi vessel under the max line.
4. 4Seal the lid and start the SLUSH preset.
5. 5Let it churn until thick, roughly 30 minutes.
6. 6Dispense and garnish with a lemon slice.

Tips

• Pour your chilled sweet tea and lemonade directly into the Slushi bowl at a 1:1 ratio for the classic Arnold Palmer balance, adjusting to taste before the machine starts.
• Check the slush consistency around the 30-minute mark by looking through the viewing window; it's ready when you can scoop it but it still flows from the tap.
• Keep both liquids refrigerated before pouring so the machine reaches slush texture faster, usually within 20-30 minutes instead of closer to an hour.

Variations

• Make it lighter by using half-sweet tea and half lemonade with a splash of sparkling water added to the bowl before churning for an airier slush.
• Go herbal by swapping the sweet tea for cold chamomile or peach tea mixed with fresh lemonade for a different flavor profile.
• Add a citrus twist by using half lemonade and half fresh-squeezed orange juice with a small amount of sweet tea for a more complex taste.

FAQ

Can I use frozen or partially frozen liquid in the Slushi bowl?

No, pour only cold liquid directly from the fridge into the bowl. The machine does the freezing work as it churns, so starting with pre-frozen liquid won't help and may damage the machine.

Why is my slush still liquidy after 45 minutes?

Your starting liquid may not have been cold enough, or the ratio might be too much liquid for the bowl. Try refrigerating your tea and lemonade longer, and fill the bowl to the line marked inside rather than overfilling it.

Can I make this dairy-free or with a substitute sweetener?

Yes, the Arnold Palmer is naturally dairy-free. You can use sugar-free lemonade and unsweetened tea with a sugar substitute, though taste and freezing time may vary slightly.

How long can I keep finished slush in the machine?

Slush is best enjoyed fresh within an hour of it becoming scoopable. After longer periods, it may become harder and icy or start to separate back into liquid.
