Orange Julius Recipe
Description
This recipe mixes orange juice concentrate with milk and water as a base, sweetened with powdered sugar and flavored with vanilla extract. Blending with ice cubes creates a fluffy, frothy texture that resembles a smoothie or creamy juice drink.
The flavor is sweet and citrus-forward with creamy undertones from the milk. The ice provides a coolness ideal for a refreshing beverage. Serving chilled and with a straw enhances the traditional drinking experience.
For a fresh variation, substitute the juice concentrate and water with fresh orange juice or peeled whole oranges, which will alter the texture slightly but provide a natural fruity brightness. This drink suits warm days or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces orange juice concentrate frozen
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes (about 8-10 ice cubes)
Instructions
- Combine orange juice concentrate, milk, water, powdered, sugar, vanilla, and ice cubes in a blender.
- Blend until smooth and frothy, then divide between four cups and garnish with orange slices, if desired. Serve with a straw!
Notes
- If fresh orange juice or peeled oranges are preferred, replace the concentrate and water with 2 cups fresh juice or 4 peeled oranges for a natural flavor.
