Those look like they would be tasty. Not sure how I would like orange rind with butterscotch, but worth a try.

Thanks for posting.

Good point on the orange rind and I think I agree with you.

Orange Froth (Minneapolis MN)

Original Poster's Comment:   "This frothy mixture is reminiscent of an orange julius.  It appears in 'Wake Up and Smell the Coffee' and served at the Kraemer House in Plain, WI."

2 cups milk, divided

2 cups water, divided

1 (12 oz) can frozen orange juice concentrate,

               thawed and divided

2 tsp vanilla, divided

1/2 cup sugar, divided

20 ice cubes, divided

orange slices for garnish

in a blender, combine half of these ingredients: milk, water, orange juice concentrate, vanilla, sugar and ice cubes.  Blend at high speed for about 30 seconds or until ice cubes are crushed.  Set aside and repeat with remaining ingredients.  Pour into glass and garnish with orange slice.

(If it all fits in blender, I would just blend all at once and divide into two glasses.)
