Notes
- Using sweetened condensed milk adds sweetness and creaminess; adjust quantity to taste if preferred less sweet.
- Raw egg or egg white powder is optional and used for frothiness and protein; omit if concerned about raw egg safety.
- If fresh orange juice is available, it can be substituted for the frozen concentrate for a fresher flavor, though it will alter texture slightly.
- Ensure orange juice concentrate is partially thawed but not diluted with water for best flavor and consistency.
