Orange is a wonderful fruit that contains many useful substances. It contains vitamins such as ascorbic acid, vitamins A, B1, B2, R. The pulp of this fruit is saturated with mineral compounds: phosphorus, calcium, potassium. And also the orange composition includes pectin, citric acid and phytoncides. In addition, the usefulness of this fruit is increased by the fact that the high content of citric acid in it prevents nitrates and nitrites from accumulating in oranges. Of course, it is best to eat the pulp of an orange along with the veins. But not everyone loves it. For those who do not like to eat this fruit, you can make a drink from oranges.

Orange juice

The easiest way to save a lot of useful substances is freshly squeezed orange juice. To prepare such a drinkable delicacy, we need very ripe fruits. Oranges for juice are best taken with a bright orange peel. Before squeezing the juice, the fruits must be washed well. Then cut into two halves along the "equator". Squeeze the juice from each half, trying to leave only an empty crust. The pulp particles that remain in the juice are veryuseful. But small children often do not like them either. Then you have to strain the resulting mass through a plastic sieve. It is important that the sieve is not made of metal! Since, passing between divisions, the juice is oxidized and loses some of these useful components! You can, of course, strain through gauze folded in a couple of layers, but it will be too long and inconvenient. Ready juice can be diluted with boiled water in a proportion of no more than 1 part of water to 1 part of juice. Such a cocktail is relevant for babies, it lowers the allergenic properties of the juice and makes it more “soft” in taste. If the juice is consumed with pulp, then one full glass of juice is obtained from two large oranges. If the pulp is removed from the drink, then only a little more than half a glass of liquid can be obtained from the same two fruits.

Orange drink

Sometimes the hostess is faced with the task of preparing a fruit drink for a large number of people. For such cases, we will provide a recipe for delicious orange nectar. To prepare an orange drink in the amount of 5 liters, we need:

- 5 large fruits;

- sugar (about 1-2 cups);

- lemon (1/2 or whole large fruit);

- ground cinnamon (at the tip of a knife).

It is desirable that the fruits are very ripe, then the peel, which we will use in the future, will have less bitterness and more flavor. My oranges, cut into two parts and squeeze the juice out of them. From the rest of the peelcut off the spoiled places and cut it into small pieces. Bring 5 liters of water to a boil. Throw orange peels into boiling water and add sugar. We cook for about 20 minutes. We give the liquid to cool and crusts - give as much taste as possible to the drink. In the cooled infusion, add already squeezed orange juice, lemon juice and cinnamon. The last ingredients should be put in a little, mixing thoroughly and constantly tasting the resulting drink from oranges. It is difficult to specify the exact amount of sugar, and even more so lemon juice and cinnamon. Indeed, depending on the variety and ripeness, the sweetness of fruits varies greatly. And cinnamon is added to taste. Someone does not like this spice at all, then you should not put it. To finally drink from oranges was ready, it must be filtered. We strongly recommend doing this through a plastic sieve to preserve the remaining vitamins. To do this, install a sieve on a large saucepan. Pour the liquid from the container with the brew little by little. We help the drink to filter by stirring with a spoon. Cool the finished and peeled orange drink in the refrigerator.
