Using an Ice Cream Machine:
In a large bowl, whisk together the orange soda and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once churned, transfer the sherbet to a bread pan or similar container.
Place in the freezer for an additional 6-8 hours until firm.
Manual Preparation (Without an Ice Cream Machine):
Whisk together the orange soda and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
Pour the mixture into a bread pan or similar container suitable for freezing.
Place in the freezer and stir every hour for the first 3 hours, ensuring even freezing.
After the initial stirring, freeze for an additional 3-5 hours until fully set.
Notes:
For quick freezing, use a covered metal pan, though glass or plastic containers also work well.
Enjoy the sherbet within a month for best taste.
Experiment with different soda flavors like Black Cherry Coke, Root Beer, Lemon-lime, or Strawberry-lime.
Use diet or zero-sugar soda for a lower-sugar option with great results.
