This potent concoction from the author of "Iced Tea" uses two of the South's favorite beverages, tea and bourbon.

Hands on time: 10 minutes  Total time: 3 hours and 10 minutes  Serves: 8

Ingredients:

    2 cups unsweetened brewed black tea, chilled

    5 cups water

    1 pint Jack Daniel's Old No. 7

    1/4 cup granulated sugar

    1 (12-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

    1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

    Chilled ginger ale, as needed

Instructions:

In a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or any container that is only a few inches deep and large enough to hold the mixture, combine the brewed tea, water, Jack Daniel's, sugar and lemonade and orange juice concentrates. Place in the freezer. About once every 45 minutes, stir the blend with a fork. Continue this for a couple of hours, until the mixture has the consistency of granita: icy, slushy and granular. To serve, use an ice cream scoop or large heavy spoon to fill a glass two-thirds full with the frozen tea. Top with some ginger ale. Don't stir.
Let the ginger ale coagulate with the frozen tea, then drink up.
