Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Milk (any type)
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 cups Water
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure they are measured properly for ease of blending.
In a blender, combine the orange juice, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and water.
Add the ice cubes to the blender on top of the liquid ingredients. This ensures smooth blending and prevents the blades from sticking.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy, frothy, and the ice cubes are completely crushed.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding a little more sugar or vanilla extract.
Pour the drink into two tall glasses and serve immediately with a straw for the best experience.
