Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. You will need frozen orange juice concentrate, water, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, and ice cubes. Having everything at hand makes the process smoother.
  2. In a blender, add the 6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate. Make sure it’s the concentrate and not prepared juice, as this gives the drink its intensity.
  3. Next, pour in 1 cup water. This will help in blending everything smoothly together.
  4. Add 1 cup milk to the blender. This will create the creamy texture we’re looking for in the Copycat Orange Julius.
  5. Now, it’s time to sweeten. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the mixture. Feel free to adjust this if you prefer a less sweet drink.
  6. Don’t forget to include 1 tsp vanilla. This will enhance the overall flavor and make it even more delightful.
  7. Finally, toss in 1 cup ice cubes. This is what will give your drink that refreshing icy texture.
  8. Secure the lid on your blender and blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until it’s thoroughly combined and frothy.
  9. Once blended, take a moment to check the consistency. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a little more water or milk and blend again.
  10. When it’s reached your desired texture, pour the Copycat Orange Julius into glasses and serve immediately for the best experience!
