The number of oranges my family has consumed recently got me thinking about how long it has been since I’ve had an Orange Julius so I tried to find a copy cat recipe. I remember going to the mall with my mom and every once in a while we would share an Orange Julius or a Strawberry Julius. I wasn’t ever a huge fan of sweets but they always tasted so good. I can easily remember the frothy sweetness and the plastic oranges in the store window. Delicious!
the real orange julius recipe (grouprecipes.com)
Serves 3
6 ounces fresh squeezed orange juice or any orange juice will work
6 ounces clear water
3 ounces simple syrup (recipe below)
8 ounces shaved or crushed ice
1 teaspoon of powdered milk or instant vanilla pudding
Put all ingredients in blender and serve!
simple syrup
2 parts sugar, 1 part water
Bring the water to a boil and dissolve the sugar into the boiling water. Once the sugar is dissolved completely, remove the pan from heat. Allow to cool completely and bottle.
When I used 2 cups sugar and I cup water it made exactly two cups simple syrup.
What I have to say- I’ve tried different versions and this one is the closest yet. I used the instant vanilla pudding and the flavor is right on. The consistency isn’t quite there but it’s a great tasting drink!! I had my neighbor friends over for a drink and Shannon, who remembers Orange Julius said it tasted just like it.
