The following are several common ways to make orange juice, which combine authoritative and up-to-date information from sources:
1. Basic fresh squeeze method
Steps:
Peel the orange and remove the tendons, split the flesh and remove the core.
Put it in a juicer and blend it, filter it and dilute it with an appropriate amount of warm water (additives can be omitted for babies).
Features: Simple and quick, retains the original flavor of the juice, suitable for direct drinking.
2. Heating and boiling method
Steps:
Add boiling water to the orange pulp (the amount of water should be twice the amount of the pulp), boil it over high heat, then simmer it over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
Add rock sugar and boil until the amount of water is reduced, skim off the foam, and drink it while it is hot or iced.
Features: Similar to the taste of fruit pulp orange, warms the body and is suitable for people with cold stomachs, and the sweetness can be adjusted.
3. Soymilk/juicer method
Steps:
Put orange segments and sugar into the soymilk machine, add boiled water to the water level, and select the juice function to blend for 2 minutes.
Or use a juicer to squeeze directly without adding water.
Features: Suitable for home use, can add honey or sugar for flavoring.
4. Creative combination
Recipe example:
Add lemon juice and honey to enhance the flavor.
Mix with gelatin to make orange juice QQ candy.
Notes:
Choose oranges with high sweetness to reduce sugar addition.
Squeeze and drink immediately to ensure vitamin C content.
