How to make juice from frozen oranges - a delicious drink recipe
Some may be surprised, but oranges are specially frozen before making juice from them. You may ask - why do this? The answer is simple: after freezing, the orange peel loses its bitterness, and the juice turns out much tastier. In the recipes you can see the headlines: “From 4 oranges - 9 liters of juice”, all this is almost true.
Such juices are generously diluted with water, but then flavored with sugar and citric acid. The benefits of such juice are very doubtful, but you get a lot of it. What is needed for a large company. But, if you want natural juice that is tasty and healthy, I recommend sticking to the following recipe:
- 4 large oranges (about 1 kg);
- 1 liter of drinking water;
- 250 g sugar;
- Citric acid to taste.
Wash the oranges thoroughly with warm water and a brush. Pour boiling water over them and dry.
Place them in the freezer overnight.
Now the oranges, along with the peel, need to be crushed in a blender. Cutting a frozen orange into pieces is not so easy, so either wait until it thaws on its own or force it to defrost in the microwave.
Since there is no waste here, you will get exactly 1 kg of orange pulp. Pour half the water into it and let it brew for 30 minutes.
Dilute the rest of the water with sugar. You may need to warm it up a little so that the sugar dissolves better.
Strain the orange juice through a sieve and mix with sweet water.Taste it, maybe you need to add more water or citric acid?
The pulp remaining after straining the oranges will also come in handy. This is orange zest, and as soon as you add sugar to it, you will immediately have a filling for a pie, or a sponge roll, or you can try to cook orange marshmallow.
