ORANGE FROST

3 servings

¾ cup milk

¾ cup water

1 can (6 oz) frozen orange juice concentrate

8 ice cubes

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Place all ingredients in order listed in blender.  Cover and blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until mixture is smooth and foamy. Serve immediately. 

Variation:  A wide variety of frozen juice concentrates could be used for this recipe.  Look for a new family favorite!  Try a tropical blend such as pineapple-orange-banana or orange-peach-mango.
