Orange Julius recipes have been around for years, but I’ve always been a bit skeptical. I doubted they could ever measure up to the “real thing.” Even though it’s been at least 25 years since I last had one, that drink still holds a special place in my memory.

- Blend the milk and vanilla: Pour the milk and vanilla in a blender and pulse until combined.
- Add the frozen concentrate: Add the frozen orange juice concentrate. Blend until fully combined with the milk.
- Add the sugar and ice cubes: Blend until cubes are crushed and mixture has thickened. If things end up a little thick, just add a tablespoon of water and mix once again.
- Pour and enjoy: Pour the drink into glasses. Serve with a straw and sip your way to blissful happiness.
