Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.5 cups Cold water
Instructions
In a high-powered blender, combine the fresh orange juice, granulated sugar, and orange zest.
Add the 3 cups of ice cubes to the blender along with the cold water.
If you'd like a hint of vanilla flavor, pour in the optional vanilla extract at this stage.
Blend the mixture on high speed until the ice is crushed and the mixture has a slushie-like consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure everything blends evenly.
Once the desired texture is achieved, taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, if needed. Blend briefly again to mix.
Pour the orange slushie into tall glasses and serve immediately with a straw or a spoon for a frosty, refreshing treat!
