What it is made of
Recipe
Ingredients
- 3–4 oranges (about 600 g)
- Ice cubes, optional
- A few mint leaves to garnish, optional
Method
- Roll the oranges on the worktop to soften them, then cut them in half.
- Squeeze them on a citrus press or juicer.
- Strain if you prefer it without pulp and serve chilled, over ice if you like.
How to make it lighter
- A glass of juice holds the sugar of several oranges without their fibre — eating a whole orange is more filling.
- Pour a smaller 150 ml glass instead of 250 ml.
- Dilute it half and half with sparkling water for a lighter drink.
History
Orange juice is drunk worldwide today, with Brazil and the United States among the largest producers of oranges for juice.
