Best orange juice – do it yourself

orange juice

Wash 4 oranges, pour over boiling water (to remove wax and remove bitterness), wipe dry, put in the freezer for 2 hours, and preferably overnight. Cut and pass through a meat grinder. Pour the resulting mass with three liters of cold boiled water (I use filtered water), and let it brew for about 10 minutes

Strain through a colander (so that large particles leave), then strain through a fine sieve, or gauze folded in 5-6 layers. If you strain immediately through gauze, then large particles will immediately clog the holes and it will be difficult to strain the juice

Add another 6 liters of water, 1 kg of sugar, and 30 g of citric acid to the strained juice, stir everything, pour into bottles, and let it brew for about an hour

9 liters of excellent orange juice should be produced

From the mass remaining after straining, you can cook jam: add sugar and citric acid to taste and cook in the microwave under a closed lid in three doses for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Get orange jelly
