Homemade Orange Julius {the best copycat recipe!}
The best refreshing and delicious drink, perfect for hot summer days. Also makes a great popsicle!
SERVINGS 6
Ingredients
- 2 Frozen orange juice concentrate tubes or 2 cups of fresh orange juice
- 1 cup of Milk preferably whole milk but skim milk can be used too
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 cup water cold
- 2 trays of ice cubes 6 cups
Instructions
- Add the ice cubes to a standard size good blender. They should equal about 6 cups.
- Add the orange juice concentrate, milk, water, vanilla, and sugar. Blend on “smoothie mode” or high speed until well blended.
Notes
- Blend Well: Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly to achieve the signature frothy and creamy texture. A high-speed blender works best.
- Adjust Sweetness: Start with the recommended amount of sugar, then adjust to taste. You can use alternative sweeteners like honey, agave, or a sugar substitute if preferred.
- Experiment with Add-ins: For a twist, try adding a banana for extra creaminess, a scoop of vanilla ice cream for indulgence, or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Make Popsicles: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for a refreshing summer treat that both kids and adults will love.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, serve your homemade Orange Julius right after blending while it's still frothy and chilled. It will separate with time.
