Orange Juice Recipe(with lemon) | Summer Drinks Special

My favorite among all the fruits is oranges. I still remember the days during my pregnancy when Jany buy loads of oranges because of my craving towards it. May be because of that, Happy's favorite fruit is orange though she prefers all kinds of fruits :). Dad usually buys and extract orange or Mozambi juice for us during the peak season. I clicked it to share it here as well. Though the recipe is very simple, I want to record it under summer special drinks.

Ingredients:

Oranges - 6

Lemon - 1

Sugar or Honey - 1 tbsp

Water - as required

Ice cubes - as required

Method:

1. Slice the oranges into half. Squeeze the juice into a container using your hands. (You can extract the juice with a juicer as shown below)

2. Strain the juice and remove the pulp. Squeeze the lemon and dilute it as required by adding sufficient water.

3. Add required sugar or honey based on the sweetness of the oranges. If the sweetness from orange is perfect, then skip adding sugar

Serve the yummy orange juice by adding ice cubes. The tanginess from the lemon blends well with the orange juice and gives unique flavor.

Points to remember:

If you prefer the pulp, then it is not required to strain it.
If the oranges are sweet then it is not required to add the artificial sweetener.
Very little ginger can also be added. But I skipped it.
