Orange Julius
Have you ever tried an Orange Julius? I first learned how to make this recipe in my middle school home economics class decades ago and was reminded about it by a pin on
Pinterest. The combination of milk and orange juice might sound like a really weird combination, but it actually makes a great shake. This is a really refreshing drink you can easily make at home with just a
few ingredients you probably already have in the fridge. Just mix it up in the blender and enjoy!
Ingredients
6 ice cubes
1/2 cup frozen orange juice, from concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
Directions
1. Crush ice in blender.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
