Orange lemonade - 7 homemade recipes

Traditional orange lemonade

Just a few products will be useful for you:

• 2 liters of drinking water;
• 1 medium-sized lemon;
• 2 large oranges;
• 120 grams of sugar.

Manufacturing:

1. Rinse oranges and lemons thoroughly under running water. Pour boiling water over the oranges. Cut the fruit in half to extract the juice. It is recommended to use an electronic or mechanical juicer. If you don’t have such a kitchen device, you can squeeze out the juice with your hands. It will be useful to take a small piece of gauze to filter out the pulp particles. Place a deep bowl where the liquid will drain.
2. Cut the orange peel into small cubes. Place together with sweet sand and pulp in a pan filled with water. Put it on fire. Cook after boiling for 10 minutes.
3. Pour the finished broth into a glass jug through cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Add freshly squeezed citrus juice. Stir well.
4. The lemonade is almost ready. Leave it to steep in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. The taste of the drink will become more pronounced.
5. It is not allowed to store lemonade for a very long time, since there was no boiling after combining the juice with the decoction. If you want to store the drink for a certain number of days, you can boil the citrus decoction after adding the juice. But keep in mind that vitamins (a group of low-molecular organic compounds of relatively simple structure and varied chemical nature) and other beneficial microelements will be destroyed.

Orange and lemon lemonade

• 2 oranges;
• 2 lemons;
• 150 grams of sugar;
• 3 liters of water.

Manufacturing:

1. To make the drink, it is recommended to choose the freshest fruits, without stains or other damage. They are rich in vitamins and beneficial substances, which are preserved after making lemonade due to the lack of heat treatment. The finished drink is tasty and healthy for the body. It perfectly relieves thirst in the summer.
2. Rinse citrus fruits under running water. Clean heavy dirt with a brush. Dry the skin with a cardboard towel. Then cut any fruit in half. Extract the juice using a manual or electronic juicer. Makes about 1 glass of water. There is no need to throw away the peel - you will need it later.
3. Finely chop the skin. Boil drinking water in a saucepan. Add crushed peel and sweet sand. It is recommended to adjust the amount of sugar according to your preferences. The varieties of citrus fruits chosen for making the drink are of great importance.
4. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the skins for about 3-6 minutes. Don't forget to remove the zest, otherwise the lemonade will turn out very bitter. In general, some people like bitter drinks, so you can ignore this advice.
5. Turn off the fire. Pour in freshly squeezed juice. Pass the finished lemonade through a piece of gauze folded twice. Place the drink in a cold space until it cools down. Pour into glasses. Serve chilled.

Frozen orange lemonade

• 2 large oranges;
• 10 g of citric acid (usually 1 sachet);
• 1 lemon;
• 250 g sugar;
• 4 liters of cool clean water.

Manufacturing:

1. Rinse the oranges under running water. Place in the freezer to chill for 1 day. After the specified time has elapsed, remove the fruits and defrost slightly. Place in blender to puree.
2. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pour the resulting mixture with 2 liters of cool drinking water. Stir well with a spoon and leave to steep for 1/4 hour.
3. Add sweet sand and citric acid. Dilute the mixture with another 2 liters of water. Stir well. Let stand 1/4 hour. After that, strain the finished juice into a deep jug.
4. Store the finished lemonade in the refrigerator. Almost everyone notes that the drink resembles orange sparkling water in its taste.

Mint orange lemonade

To prepare a very tasty soft drink, it will be useful to take lemons, oranges and mint. As a base, you can use mineral or ordinary tap water (previously boiled). To preserve the distinctive taste, it is recommended to remove the citrus zest. But the drink can turn out to be overly bitter if you make a mistake. Therefore, it is better to simply fill the pan with hot water and add fruit.

• 1 lemon;
• 1 orange;
• 5 stalks of mint;
• 3 tbsp. spoons of sugar;
• 1.50 liters of drinking water.

Manufacturing:

1. Rinse the citrus fruits with hot water. Then cut the fruits into small slices. Squeeze the juice into a deep saucepan. Add citrus slices.
2. Wash the mint stems. Use your hands to tear off all the leaves and throw them into the water. Add sweet sand. It is recommended to adjust the amount of sugar at your own discretion. If you like sweet drinks, add a couple extra spoons.
3. Fill the contents of the pan with boiling water. Cover with a lid. Wait until the lemonade cools down. To reduce the waiting time, after 30 minutes, immerse the container in cool water.
4. You can serve lemonade in 2 ways - in a glass or in a glass jug. It is recommended to throw in a few ice cubes. It is best to use the freshest mint leaves as decoration.

Orange and apple lemonade

• 2 liters of drinking water;
• 1 orange;
• 4 medium-sized apples;
• 100 g sugar;
• 10 g citric acid.

Manufacturing:

1. Wash the orange with soap, then rinse with bubbling water. Simply rinse other fruits under the tap. Remove the seed from every apple. Cut the pulp into small slices. Divide the orange in half and squeeze out the juice with a manual citrus juicer. If there is no such device, you can squeeze out the liquid with your hands. Take a small piece of gauze to filter out solid particles.
2. Place a pan filled with water on the stove. Slice the orange peel. When the water boils, add the peels and sweet sand. Cook the syrup for about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, grate the apples or grind through a meat grinder. Squeeze the resulting mass through gauze folded 3 times. Combine apple and orange juices.
4. Strain the prepared orange peel decoction. Add citric acid (an ordinary 10-gram sachet is enough). Pour in citrus juice. To obtain the most intense taste, you need to let the lemonade sit for a little while (about 4 hours). After that, pour into glasses.

Ginger and orange lemonade

The cooling drink will be much healthier if you add ginger root. In addition, thanks to the unique combination of ingredients, an extraordinary taste is obtained. After making ginger lemonade for the first time, you will certainly want to write down or understand the recipe so that you can often treat yourself to a cold and fragrant drink. Coping with production is quite simple.

• 2 liters of clean water;
• 2 oranges;
• 1 lemon;
• Ginger root;
• 1/2 cup sweet sand.

Manufacturing:

1. Wash the fruit and cut in half. Squeeze out the juice with a juicer or by hand (use gauze to sift out the pulp). Before squeezing juice, it is recommended to remove the zest from each fruit (without the snow-white bitter part). Grate the ginger root using a small mesh grater. You will get a juicy mass.
2. Fill a suitable sized saucepan with 2 liters of water. Add sugar. After the water boils, add the citrus zest and ginger root. Cook for 1/4 hour. The water should become fragrant and sweet.
3. Strain the finished broth through a sieve. Cool at room temperature. Then add freshly squeezed juice. Place the drink in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Before serving, pour the lemonade into glasses (each should contain an ice cube). Use mint leaves for decoration.

Strawberry and orange lemonade

There is a popular option for making a soft drink from citruses and berries. Thanks to the combination of ingredients, the lemonade comes out unusually tasty. It is recommended to serve it with ice cubes. You can put cocktail straws in glasses. In addition, mint leaves will be a suitable decoration. It is recommended to regulate the amount of sweet sand independently. It can be completely replaced with honey if you are not allergic to bee products.

Any strawberry is suitable for making lemonade, even frozen. Citrus fruits are sold in stores every year, so there will be no problems with purchasing suitable ingredients. The basis of the drink is usually mineral or ordinary purified water. If you decide to make a drink based on Sprite, you don’t need to add lemons. Lemonade is prepared quite quickly if you carefully follow the instructions.

1. Rinse the strawberries with water. Remove the stems. Place the berries in a deep bowl and cover with sweet sand. Make strawberry puree.
2. Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon and 1-2 oranges. If you purchased small fruits, take 2 pcs., if large, take 1 pc. Pour freshly squeezed juices into strawberry puree. Stir well. Fill with drinking water.
3. Place the finished lemonade in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Pour the cool drink into glasses. For decoration, you can use lemon slices, mint leaves, etc. To keep the drink cool longer, place ice cubes in glasses.

Homemade orange lemonade

Description of the dish.

Hello, dear friends, welcome to the blog page “Pro Vkusnyashki”!

I really like making homemade drinks, and this is completely justified, because they turn out to be very tasty and healthy, unlike the chemical consistencies sold in stores. Now my choice fell on homemade lemonade.

The title implies the introduction of lemon as the main ingredient. But this decision seemed sour to me; I really wanted something unusual. Not everyone knows, but this drink can be made much tastier by using an orange as a base. This is how lemonade will turn out to be the most catchy in appearance and richest in taste. You can simply get rid of the slight bitterness of this fruit with the help of one trick, which I will share with you in the recipe.

And now I propose to start manufacturing...

Nutritional value of the dish per 100 grams.

Production time: 20 minutes + 3 hours for freezing fruit.

Servings: 8 tbsp (2 l).

Ingredients of the dish.

• Orange - 250 g (1-2 pcs).
• Water - 2 l.
• Citric acid - 1-2 g (1/4 tsp).
• Sugar - 100-150 g (1/2 tbsp).

Recipe of dish.

Let's prepare the ingredients. I carefully wash the oranges under the tap.

For this recipe, one ripe fruit with a diameter of about 10 cm is enough, but if you want to get the most pronounced and rich taste of the drink, you can take two or three citrus fruits. Experiment and you will find your favorite proportions.

Place the oranges in a bowl and pour boiling water over them for 1-2 minutes. This procedure will help remove waxy deposits.

Then wipe the citrus fruits dry with a towel and place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours to reduce the bitterness of the peel.

I freeze several fruits at once and take them out as needed.

Without wasting time, boil the required amount of water (2 liters) and cool.

Let the oranges thaw so that they can be cut into large slices.

Grind the purchased product using a meat grinder or blender.

Pour the puree purchased from 1 fruit with cooled boiled water (2 tbsp).

Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes.

Then filter the drink through a sieve into a carafe or other suitable container. Throw away the cake.

Add sugar (1/2 tbsp) to the bowl.

Pour in citric acid (1/4 tsp).

Pour the remaining boiled water into the carafe and stir the mixture until the bulk ingredients dissolve.

Serve homemade orange lemonade chilled.

Homemade lemonade - 3 citrus options

Summer heat... It can drive anyone crazy. How to escape from him?! Drink invigorating ice lemonade! Naturally, most immediately remembered the hypermarket and the shelves on which there are cool Schweppes, Fanta, Sprite and other soft drinks. But all this is not the same; it is better to drink homemade lemonade that does not contain any preservatives, dyes or other rubbish. Don't understand how to cook it?! Not a failure, now we will carefully tell you how to create lemonade at home, and our colorful photos of these ready-made drinks will completely discourage you from drinking unhealthy store-bought drinks.

Making homemade lemonade

We asked ourselves the question: “How to make homemade lemonade?” Your appeal is literally at the right place. Now we will tell you about the 3 best recipes for making homemade lemonade based on your favorite citrus fruits - lemon, lime and, of course, orange. Lemonade is prepared at home in a very short amount of time; at most, your preparation of the first recipe will take about 10 minutes. Let’s not beat around the bush, let’s move on to our recipes.

Lemon lemonade

The first recipe will be traditional, based on lemon. Agree, almost all of you associate the word “lemonade” specifically with this citrus fruit. Homemade lemonade from lemons is a very invigorating and illuminating drink that will help you cheer up after a hard day at work. The recipe for homemade lemonade with lemons is very simple and requires a moderate list of ingredients for your own preparation:

• 6 large thin-skinned lemons.
• 250 grams of sweet sand.
• 600-700 ml of cool filtered water.

The list of goods is clear, now the process of making a soft drink itself. We will describe the action plan step by step, so that you can cope with cooking without any problems and your family will not “die” of thirst while you “conjure” in the kitchen:

1. You can use an electronic juicer, or you can take a manual variation of the juice press. Rinse all citrus fruits and pass through a juicer. As a result, you should have approximately 200 ml of pure lemon juice. Anyone who has neither a juicer nor a manual unit can create everything by hand. Here, making citrus juice will be a little trickier. We place the washed citruses on the countertop, place our palm on one fruit and begin to roll it, rolled it a little, then moved on to another citrus. And so with all yellowish fruits. Take a sharp knife and cut the sour fruit into 4 slices and squeeze the juice from these slices into a bowl.
2. We take a large decanter, pour crushed or squeezed lemon juice into it, add sweet sand there and add cool water. Mix well. Ready!
3. We take beautiful cocktail glasses, pour our homemade lemonade into them, insert straws, and place a beautifully cut, narrow slice of lemon on the wall of the glass. And the last “chord” is the addition of ice cubes.

All gentlemen, your sour, heat-saving drink is ready, drink it to your health!

Lime lemonade

The next recipe for homemade lemonade is lime; this variation of the soft drink is no less tasty and invigorating than in the previous recipe. And it is prepared independently, in the same short time as the lemon version of the drink. Cooking Ingredients: Minor:

• 800-900 ml of water, naturally cool and filtered.
• 3 limes.
• Fresh mint sprigs - 5 pcs.
• Brown sweet sand - 1 cup.

{Instructions} for making this homemade lime mint lemonade is not easy. Cooks, repeat after us step by step:

1. Take a ladle, pour 50 grams of water into it and throw in 3 sprigs of fresh mint, place the ladle on a flaming stove and cook the water with mint for 2 minutes. Pour in all the prepared sweet sand and start stirring. While constantly stirring, cook the mint syrup for another 15 minutes. At the end of the time, remove the ladle from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
2. We wash all the limes, arm ourselves with a sharp knife and cut all the citrus fruits into quarters. Place the lime wedges in a blender and add 200 grams of cool water. We turn on the equipment and grind everything into a green “slurry”. The finished liquid should be poured into a decanter, but only after straining well from the cake. We take a sieve and begin to pour the lime “solution” into the carafe. We don’t throw away the remaining cake, but put it back into the blender bowl, add 200 ml of water and grind everything again. Afterwards, strain, and pour the lime “tincture” into a decanter. We repeat all these manipulations one more time.
3. Add 100 grams of water to the boiled mint syrup, stir and remove all mint branches. Strain the syrup through a sieve and pour into a carafe, mix everything.
4. Pour homemade lime lemonade into glasses where ice cubes have already been added in advance. We throw cocktail straws into glasses and bring the drink to our friends exhausted from the heat!

Orange lemonade

We have the last recipe left - this is homemade orange lemonade. Some of you who are lovers of mixed drinks may compare this homemade orange lemonade with a non-alcoholic cruchon. There are similarities between them, but you can appreciate their similarity only when you prepare both recipes. By the way, {instructions} for preparing non-alcoholic cruchon will be written by us in another article! Let's return to our citrus drink made from sunny fruit. Its production is not complicated, so even a schoolboy can handle it without the help of others. Our recipe will be designed for 4 people, so you will need the following ingredients:

• Sweet sand - 250 gr.
• 8 oranges.
• One small lemon.
• 300 ml of ordinary cool filtered water.
• 300 ml of sparkling mineral water, make sure that the gas-water is not salty!

The ingredients for cooking have been sorted out, now the scheme for making a refreshing orange drink, naturally described step by step:

1. Pour plain water into a saucepan and add all the sugar there.
2. Using a small grater, grate the zest of the previously washed lemon into the saucepan, mix everything and put the saucepan on the fire. Let's start cooking. The heat should be low during cooking. Bring the sweet “solution” with zest to a boil, add power to the stove and cook for another 5 minutes, always stirring.
3. Pour the boiled syrup into a deep bowl and place it in the refrigerator to cool. We wait until it becomes cool.
4. We cut one washed orange into beautiful mugs and place them in a bowl with cool sweet syrup.
5. Squeeze the juice from the remaining washed oranges, pour it into a decanter, and pour the syrup with orange circles into the decanter. Stir, add carbonated mineral water, and also add ice cubes.
