Every Sunday morning my father would blend freshly squeezed orange juice with ice to make us frothies to accompany our breakfast. The addition of vanilla and honey makes it slightly sweeter, and irresistible.
What to buy: We juiced Valencia oranges to make this drink and loved their sweet, fragrant flavor.
Game plan: For a slacker solution, you could use good store-bought orange juice such as Odwalla.
