Meet your new favorite refreshment: Old-Fashioned Orange Delight. This creamy, citrusy blend is as refreshing as a cold breeze on a hot day. With just a handful of ingredients, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for any occasion.
Orange juice is the star here, lending a bright, zesty flavor. Freshly squeezed is best, but store-bought works fine too. Whole milk adds a rich, creamy texture that makes this drink feel indulgent. The powdered sugar sweetens the deal without any grittiness, ensuring every sip is smooth. Vanilla extract brings a hint of warmth and depth, balancing the citrus perfectly. And finally, ice cubes cool and thicken the mixture, turning it into a frothy delight.
This Old-Fashioned Orange Delight pairs beautifully with light snacks like buttery croissants or a fresh fruit salad. It’s also a delightful accompaniment to a brunch spread, adding a refreshing contrast to savory dishes.
Start by gathering all your ingredients. This makes the process smoother and ensures you won’t be scrambling for anything mid-blend. Pour your orange juice and whole milk into the blender first. This helps the blades do their job better when you add the solids. Next, sprinkle in the powdered sugar and pour in the vanilla extract. Now, it's time for those ice cubes. Add them last, so they sit on top of the liquid, ready to work their magic. Secure the lid tightly, and blend on high speed. You’re aiming for a smooth, frothy texture — usually, about 30-45 seconds will do the trick. Once it’s all blended, pour the mixture into glasses, and serve right away to enjoy its refreshing chill.
