Description
A nostalgic and refreshing homemade Orange Julius drink, perfect for warm sunny days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of fresh orange juice
- 1 cup of milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 cups of ice
Instructions
- Juicing the oranges: Start by juicing your fresh oranges until you have about 2 cups of juice. If you’re using a juicer, great! If not, simply cut the oranges in half and use a hand juicer or even squeeze them manually.
- Combine ingredients in the blender: In a blender, add the freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and pulse on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy—about 30 seconds.
- Add ice: Now, it’s time to add the ice. Start with 1 cup to keep it refreshing.
- Taste and adjust: Take a quick taste to see if it’s sweet enough for your liking.
- Serve it up: Pour your luscious mixture into tall glasses and watch the creamy froth settle at the top.
Notes
For a thicker consistency, add more ice or use frozen orange chunks. Serve chilled in clear glasses or garnish with a fresh slice of orange.
