Making an orange drink
We take four large (or five medium) oranges. Wash them thoroughly under running water, then scald them with boiling water. You can hold them a little in boiling water, half a minute or a minute. Then wipe dry and put in the freezer overnight.
The next morning (or when you will prepare an orange drink), we take out the frozen oranges from the freezer, where they spent the whole night, and cut them into several pieces (as you personally find it convenient). I cut the oranges into 8 pieces, so they fit better in the meat grinder.
Safety precautions! Frozen oranges are immediately cut with great difficulty. So be very careful when trying to make the first cut. For this purpose, it is better to use a short knife with a thick, rigid blade. After the first cut is made, further oranges are cut more easily.
Frozen sliced oranges are passed through a meat grinder. You will immediately have a question: so the juice will flow from oranges. No, it will not. After all, our oranges were frozen precisely so that there would be no juice when crushing. Here's an interesting trick.
When all the oranges are twisted, pour the resulting mass with three liters of boiled cold water, mix and let it brew for 10 minutes.
Then we filter the mass through a colander or cheesecloth to remove large particles. Add another 6 liters of boiled chilled water to the filtered orange drink. Add 1 kg of sugar to this and mix well. You can adjust the sweetness yourself (whatever you like). If you like a less sweet drink, add as much sugar as you need. Also add the juice of one small lemon.
We mix everything well. Once again, we check the orange drink for taste. If the taste suits you, then pour into three liter jars or simply leave to infuse in a clean container for 1 hour.
As a result, an orange drink turns out 9 liters. For one evening of any holiday, guests will drink the entire drink prepared by you! They even ask for the recipe at the end. Because an orange drink prepared at home is much tastier and healthier than a store-bought one.
Bon Appetit!
Step 1: Prepare oranges.
We wash the oranges well under running water and, without cutting the skin, transfer the ingredient to a cutting board. Using a kitchen knife, cut the citruses into two equal parts.
Then, using a manual juicer, squeeze the juice from each orange half. Pour the juice into a free bowl or jug. 
We shift the squeezed orange peels with pulp to a cutting board and, using a kitchen knife, randomly cut them into small pieces. Step 2: prepare an orange drink.
In a free saucepan we shift the orange peels cut into pieces with pulp. Pour sugar, cinnamon into the same container and fill everything with water. Then, using a tablespoon, mix all the ingredients together. We put the pot with the ingredients on a large fire. After the water in the container boils, make medium heat and cook the liquid orange mass for 15 minutes. After this time, turn off the burner. Before we filter our citrus mass, we take a colander and cover its bottom with gauze, and put a saucepan under it, into which our liquid will drain. 
Carefully pour the citrus liquid from the container through a colander into the pan. 
When the liquid mass has all drained into the dishes, we collect gauze and manually squeeze out all the cake. 
We take out the remains of the orange peel from the gauze and throw it away, since they will no longer be useful to us, but pour the resulting liquid into a container with pre-squeezed orange juice. Mix everything with a tablespoon until smooth. 
Then, using a watering can, pour the orange drink into a free jar or other container and cover it tightly with a lid. After our finished drink has completely cooled, put it in the refrigerator. Step 3: serve orange drink.
Serve orange drink, preferably chilled. Pour the drink from the jar into a decanter or pour it immediately into glasses or glass glasses. Glasses can be decorated with an orange slice, you can also put pieces of ice in the glasses. However, you can also drink our delicious aromatic drink warm or hot with the addition of honey or alcoholic beverages. Whoever likes it. This tonic drink goes well with both main courses and dessert. Good appetite! The recipe for an orange drink is designed for two people. Usually one serving is taken one orange, 50 grams of sugar and one glass of water. Based on these proportions, you can calculate the required amount of ingredients so that all your guests enjoy an orange drink.
If the oranges from which you prepare the orange drink are too sweet, then you can add half a lemon to them. Thanks to this ingredient, our drink will acquire a slightly pleasant sour taste.
Before serving, you can add a little chilled mineral sparkling water to an orange drink.
If you are allergic to citrus fruits, then it is better to refrain from drinking an orange drink or make the drink less concentrated by adding more water to it.
To prepare an orange drink, use only fresh ripe citrus fruits, as they are not only sweeter, but also juicier.
In addition to cinnamon, you can add a little cloves to the drink. It will also give the drink a unique aroma and complement the taste of oranges.
If you don’t have a manual juicer at hand, then you can squeeze the juice from citrus with a fork or just with your hands.
