1 - 6 oz. can orange juice (undiluted)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar (or sweeten to your taste)
10-12 ice cubes
1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds (optional)

Put all ingredients in a blender and process for about 3 minutes or until perfectly smooth.

You may sweeten this beverage with honey or agave syrup instead of sugar; add more flavor by using 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest or 1-2 drops of pure orange oil.

Yield: About 1 quart.
