Notes
- Use fresh ice. Old ice that has been sitting in the back of the freezer for a while is bound to taste a little stale. It may even begin to taste like something with a strong odor! So to make sure your Orange Julius tastes like a creamsicle and not shrimp, use fresh ice!
- Sweeten to taste. It's your drink - so make it how you like! Add as much or as little sugar as you'd like to suit your preferences.
