In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1½ tablespoons of orange zest, ⅛ teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together for about 2–3 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the mixture appears bright and aromatic.

Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream to the orange mixture. Whisk gently for about 1–2 minutes until everything is well combined, forming a smooth and creamy base for your Orange Sherbet.

Transfer the well-mixed liquid into your ice cream maker, ensuring it’s properly assembled according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churn the mixture for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Once churned, scoop the sherbet into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until the sherbet is firm and solid throughout.
