Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the necessary ingredients. For fresh orange juice, you will need three ripe and juicy oranges of medium size, 3-4 sprigs of fresh mint, highly carbonated mineral water. Sugar is added as desired.
Step 2:
Wash the mint, dry it with paper towels. Tear off the leaves from the twigs and lightly remember them with your hands so that the juice stands out.
Step 3:
Transfer the mint leaves to a pre-prepared jug or an ordinary glass jar. Add sugar. You can not add it, focus on your taste.
Step 4:
Wash the oranges thoroughly, dry them with paper towels and cut them in half.
Step 5:
Squeeze the juice out of each half, removing the bones. It is better to do this with a citrus juicer, manual or electric. If you do not have such a technique, peel the citrus fruits, remove the seeds and veins, send them to the bowl of a blender, chop. In a couple of seconds, you will get a natural juice with pulp.
Step 6:
Pour the squeezed orange juice into a jug.
Step 7:
Add chilled (from the refrigerator) carbonated water to the jug with juice. Mix it up. Let it brew for 5-7 minutes. Now pour fresh into glasses, you can add a couple of ice cubes. Enjoy a refreshing drink!
You can prepare a citrus fresh mix. To do this, take 2-3 oranges, 1 lime and 1 lemon, although in this case I recommend taking more sugar, otherwise the drink will be too sour.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
