Orange Julius Ingredients
- 1 container (12 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 14 ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the base mixture: Combine the frozen orange juice concentrate, milk, water, sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Add ice gradually: Add 5 ice cubes to the blender at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. Continue adding and blending ice until all 14 cubes are crushed and the drink is frothy and evenly mixed.
- Serve: Pour the creamy and frosty Orange Julius into glasses immediately and enjoy this refreshing citrus beverage.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- You can adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a less sweet drink.
- Serve immediately for the best frothy texture, as the drink may separate if left standing too long.
- Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the orange flavor if desired.
