Add the orange juice, sugar, orange zest, salt, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and whisk together until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the milk and cream.
Pour the contents into the belly of your ice cream maker. Follow the directions for your specific ice cream maker.
Churn the sherbet until it is somewhere between the consistency of a milkshake and soft serve. Remove from the machine and spoon it into a freezer safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze overnight or until solid.

For best flavor use fresh squeezed orange juice. Many stores have fresh squeezed orange juice readily available.
There are many different types of ice cream makers so follow your manufacturer's instructions.
If you need ice cream salt, it is sold at the grocery store in the spice aisle with the other salts.
A little bit of salt in the sherbet recipe is a flavor enhancer. It makes the other flavors pop. The key is a little bit.
The same recipe can be used to make lime, lemon, or grapefruit sherbet. Just substitute the appropriate juice and zest.
Store homemade sherbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
