Ingredients
Orange Julius Ingredients
- 6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (half a can)
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen orange juice concentrate, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure the ingredients are well measured to balance the sweetness and creaminess.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. This ensures the sugar dissolves and the flavors combine evenly for a consistent taste.
- Add Ice Cubes: Add 12 ice cubes to the blender. You can start with about 10 and add more depending on your preference for thickness and chill.
- Blend Again: Blend again until the ice cubes are fully crushed and the drink is frothy and creamy. The blending creates the signature frothiness of the Orange Julius.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the creamy orange drink into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and cold texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the number of ice cubes to achieve your preferred thickness and frostiness.
- Whole milk provides the best creamy texture, but you may substitute with 2% or plant-based milk if desired.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar slightly or use a sugar substitute.
- Make sure to blend thoroughly to achieve the iconic frothy texture.
- This recipe yields about 3 servings.
