Instructions

Chill the orange juice, evaporated milk and whole milk thoroughly before assembly.
Dissolve the sugar in the cold milk mixture separately.
Pour the cold citrus component slowly into the cold milk while stirring; avoid warm ingredients, which can cause curdling.
For this original vanilla adaptation, add 3 ml pure vanilla extract to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
Add ice, gently mix and serve immediately; minor separation can occur with citrus and milk.
