Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice about 2 large oranges
  • 2 cups whole milk or any plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Orange Juice

  • Start by juicing the oranges until you have enough juice to fill about one cup. For the best flavor, use oranges that are ripe and juicy.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  • Combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy. If you prefer a colder drink, add a few ice cubes to the blender.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

  • Pour the drink into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together. The chilling process also enhances the drink’s refreshing qualities.

Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy

  • Serve the chilled drink in glasses, optionally garnished with a mint sprig for an added touch of color and freshness.

Notes

Always use fresh oranges for juicing as bottled orange juice can contain added sugars and preservatives, altering the fresh flavor of this drink.
