During the hot summer period, nothing quenches the thirst so muchthirst, like an orange drink. And if you have invited guests, then instead of the usual store-bought juice or, even worse, Fanta, Coca-Cola, Sprite and other sodas, you can put this tasty drink on the table. It does not contain preservatives, dyes, emulsifiers, and consists entirely of natural ingredients. To prepare the drink, you will need very little time, inexpensive products sold in every supermarket, and a recipe that we will gladly share.
Orange nectar own hands
Oranges are sold in stores all year round,Therefore, you can prepare the drink using this recipe at any time, regardless of the month outside. In the summer, when the heat is incredibly sweltering, it will perfectly quench your thirst and give you strength. In the autumn-winter period, orange juice will help boost your immunity, fill your body with healthy vitamin C, and neither the flu nor respiratory viral infections will be scary for you. Ingredients:
- four medium oranges
- nine liters of chilled boiled water
- one kilogram of granulated sugar
- citric acid - 30 grams
Method of preparation:First, pour boiling water over the washed unpeeled oranges, then dry them well and put them in the refrigerator for two hours, or better yet, overnight. This procedure will help remove bitterness from the fruit and get rid of wax. After the specified time, cut them into large pieces and grind them using a meat grinder. Then pour boiled, but necessarily pre-cooled, water over the resulting mass (you will need three liters) and leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Now, to remove large particles, you must first strain the nectar through a colander, and then through a sieve or a regular piece of gauze folded several times. The latter method is not very effective and should be used only in extreme cases (for example, if you do not have suitable dishes), since the pulp will instantly clog the holes in the fabric, and the juice will be quite difficult to strain. In addition, extra threads may get into the drink. When you have completed the task, dilute the resulting juice with water (six liters is enough), then pour in granulated sugar and the amount of citric acid specified in the recipe. Mix the mixture thoroughly with a spoon and leave it for 60 minutes. Then pour the orange drink into clean bottles, which should be stored in the refrigerator. This simple recipe will help you prepare sweet, vitamin-rich natural juice. Now, even in forty-degree heat, you will not be afraid of thirst attacks. In addition, you can cook delicious jam from the pulp left after straining. To do this, add sugar to the fruit mass, a little citric acid and put on low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly. Then put it into jars, pre-sterilized, and store in the pantry or in the refrigerator. This jam turns out more like jelly. It will be an ideal companion to green or black tea and will give you a boost of good mood on winter evenings.
Drink from fresh oranges with cinnamon
Today, most people, in order to quench their thirst,buy carbonated drinks or supposedly natural juices, which in fact contain a huge amount of ingredients harmful to the human body. In some cases, this can lead to various gastrointestinal disorders, an increase in acetone in the urine. If you care about your health, eat right and limit the consumption of not entirely healthy foods. The recipe for this drink will help in the fight for excellent health and a good mood. Ingredients:
- two large oranges
- 100 grams of sugar
- half a small spoonful of cinnamon
- two cups of warm water (use always boiled)
Method of preparation:This recipe, although similar to the previous one, thanks to cinnamon, the drink has an original taste and unusual aroma, which attracts everyone who wants to quench their thirst. So, start with the simplest: wash the oranges, cut them in half and squeeze out the juice. If you have a special device, it is better to use it - this way not a single extra drop of fruit nectar will be lost. Then pour water into a deep pan, then pour in granulated sugar and cinnamon. Chop the remaining peel with a knife and add to the rest of the ingredients. Now make a small flame on the burner and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about fifteen minutes from the moment of boiling. Strain the finished fruit broth through cheesecloth and mix with freshly squeezed juice. The resulting drink can be served both hot and cold. If you do not like oranges, then slightly change the recipe for yourself - instead of the above fruits, take tangerines. The technology of preparation in this case is exactly the same. Considering that for one serving of the drink you will need one orange, 250 milliliters of water and 50 grams of sugar, you can easily calculate the required amount of products for a large company.

First, make a strong fire, and as soon as the first bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the fruit drink, reduce the flame to a minimum and, after holding for about a minute, remove the pan from the stove.
