Orange lemonade without sugar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 6 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients needed to make homemade orange lemonade. You will need a ripe, juicy orange with a bright taste, drinking water, any sweetener and a little citric acid (don't look at the bowl of sugar - I forgot to remove it)). Since the drink will not be subjected to heat treatment, it is important to take good quality water that can be drunk raw, not boiled.

2. STEP 2

   

   The orange should be washed thoroughly, preferably with a brush. Then pour boiling water over the orange, wipe it dry with a kitchen towel and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

3. STEP 3

   

   The frozen orange must then be removed from the freezer and allowed to defrost until it can be cut with a knife. Cut the orange into small pieces and place in a blender bowl. Be sure to remove the seeds from the orange if there are any.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grind the orange in a blender into even smaller pieces, but not completely into porridge or puree.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the crushed orange in a large saucepan or bowl. Add about 500 ml of water and leave for 15 minutes at room temperature to infuse.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then strain the drink, add another 1.5 liters of water, sweetener to taste, citric acid and stir well. Let homemade lemonade brew for about an hour and then serve. Such lemonade can be stored for no more than a day at room temperature of about 20 degrees.
