Is it possible to get a bucket of juice from four large oranges? Of course not, you say. You can't squeeze that much juice out of four oranges. And it is true.
But preparing 9 liters of an orange drink that tastes just as good as juice is very possible. This recipe will come in handy if you are expecting guests, especially children. They will definitely like the orange drink. And it will be more useful than various Fants and Cols.
Ingredients for making the drink:
- 4 large oranges or 5 medium ones;
- 1 kg of sugar;
- juice of one lemon.
Making an orange drink
Take four large (or five medium) oranges. Wash them thoroughly under running water, then scald them with boiling water. You can keep them in boiling water for a little while, half a minute or a minute. Then wipe it dry and put it in the freezer overnight.
The next morning (or when you prepare an orange drink), remove the frozen oranges from the freezer, where they spent the whole night, and cut them into several parts (as convenient for you). I cut the oranges into 8 pieces, so they fit better in the meat grinder.
Safety precautions! Frozen oranges are difficult to cut immediately. 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 easier to cut.
Pass the frozen oranges through a meat grinder. You will immediately have a question: this is how the juice will flow from the oranges. No, it will not. After all, our oranges were frozen precisely so that there would be no juice when chopping. This is such an interesting trick.
When all the oranges are twisted, pour the resulting mass with three liters of boiled water. cold water, mix and let it brew for 10 minutes.
Next, strain the mixture through a colander or cheesecloth to remove large particles. Add another 6 liters of boiled chilled water to the strained orange drink. Add 1 kg of sugar to this and mix well. You can adjust the sweetness yourself (as you like). If you like a less sweet drink, add as much sugar as you need. We also add the juice of one small lemon.
Mix everything well. Let's check the taste of the orange drink again. If you are satisfied with the taste, then pour it into three liter jars or simply leave to infuse in a clean container for 1 hour.
As a result, you get 9 liters of orange drink. In one evening of any holiday, guests will drink the entire drink prepared by you! Even at the end they will ask for the recipe. Because an orange drink prepared at home is much tastier and healthier than a store-bought one.
Bon appetit!

Recipe for “The Best Orange Drink”:
First we will prepare the concentrate for our drink. We will need all the ingredients except water. The orange must be washed thoroughly. Important: it must be thin-skinned. Thin-peel oranges are juicier, more flavorful, and have less of the loose white layer underneath the rind (albedo).
Pour sugar into a convenient jug and citric acid. Cut off the top and bottom of the orange and cut it into pieces. The beauty of the pieces is not important, the presence of seeds, in principle, too.
The longest step in preparing the drink: all this must be crushed with an immersion blender. And not just chop it, but as finely as possible, into a single thick mass. To make it easier for the blender to cope with the task, add a little water.
While you are grinding all this, the sugar and citric acid will have time to dissolve. The result is a delicious and aromatic concentrate. Then we proceed as we please. Can be left as a concentrate, or poured into 3 liter jar and top up cold water. Personally, I divide the portion in half and pour it through a funnel into 2 plastic bottles, which I then top up with water and put in the refrigerator. By the way, it’s delicious to soak cakes with the concentrate. You can edit the acid and sugar to suit your needs.
That, in fact, is all the wisdom. By the way, 3 liters of drink is not a dogma. You can dilute it less, it's a matter of taste. Here is a drink diluted 3 times.
By the way, the color of the drink depends on the color of the crust itself. In any case, the drink will be tasty and aromatic, and also with pulp). Here he is. diluted to 3 liters. We like this particular option: it’s not cloying and tastes no worse than store-bought orange juice. Calculate the price yourself)
And - an option for brave lovers of experiments. I'm sharing. In the evening, you can stud the orange with cloves. Like that. By the way, an orange studded in this way is an excellent air odorant if it is located close to a heat source. Orange, if not used, dries to complete hardness and becomes an excellent interior decoration.
Sorry, I got distracted... I return to the drink. Leave the orange studded with cloves overnight and remove the cloves in the morning. And then follow the recipe. As a result, the drink will taste more exotic.
In a word - cook and drink to your health!
Bon appetit and orange mood to you and your family!
