Orange Julius Recipe

As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed going to a mall and indulging in an Orange Julius.  Well, now I can make them at home.  Here is a great recipe and they taste exactly like the real ones at the mall:

1 cup orange juice (Tropicana works well)

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup water
1 cup  milk

8 or 9 ice cubes

Put all ingredients except ice cubes in a blender.  Whirl until well mixed.  Add ice cubes one at a time until frothy.

Serve immediately.

There is quite a bit of sugar in this so if it is too sweet for your liking, just reduce the sugar to maybe 1/3 of a cup.  Enjoy!
