I love this drink because it tastes like a dessert but really isn't that bad for you. It is perfect for summer when I want my little man to stay hydrated but he is sick to death of water and deserves a little treat. I also love to serve this (in smaller portions) as a juice with our frequent country breakfasts (eggs, hashbrowns, bacon etc.). Soooo good.

6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup cold milk
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8-9 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in your blender and blend for 2 minutes. Depending on which frozen orange juice you are using (some are sweeter than others) you may not need a full 1/2 cup sugar. I usually don't....
