Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz (170 g) frozen orange juice concentrate, partially thawed (no water added)
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) ice
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
- raw egg or egg white powder (optional)
- whipped cream, for garnish
- orange slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Assemble a high-powered blender and gather fresh orange juice, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and ice cubes.
- Blending Technique: Pour orange juice, milk, vanilla, and sugar into the blender, then add crushed ice. Blend on high velocity for 30 seconds until the mixture transforms into a silky, foam-topped beverage with a light, whipped consistency.
- Serving Presentation: Pour the frothy concoction into chilled tall glasses, leaving a small margin at the top for optional garnishing.

Notes
- Blend with Precision: Use a high-powered blender to achieve the signature smooth, frothy texture that defines a classic Orange Julius.
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Keep orange juice and milk cold to maintain the drink’s refreshing quality and prevent dilution.
- Timing is Key: Pulse blend for exactly 15-20 seconds to create the perfect light, airy consistency without over-processing.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Orange Julius right after blending to preserve its signature creamy and frothy characteristics at peak deliciousness.
