Notes
Recipe Note About the Egg:
This recipe uses a raw egg, similar to the original Orange Julius recipe. For food safety, it's best to use a pasteurized egg. If you prefer not to use raw egg, substitute one of these:- 2 tablespoons pasteurized liquid egg product
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (slightly less frothy but equally delicious)
