Homemade Orange and Lemon Drink

How do you make a homemade drink from frozen oranges and lemon? Prepare the ingredients. Wash the fruit well; it is best to pour boiling water over them and wipe them dry. Since the citrus fruit will be used together with the peel, you need to remove the bitterness. There are two ways to do this: keep the oranges and lemon in boiling water for a while, or place them in the freezer. I prepared it both ways and think it is better to freeze the citrus fruit, because then only a very light bitterness remains.

Put the oranges and lemon into a plastic bag and place them in the freezer for 3-4 hours, or leave them overnight. About half an hour before you start making the drink, prepare the sugar syrup. To do this, bring the water to a boil, add the sugar, and simmer the syrup for about 10 minutes. Let the syrup cool to a temperature slightly above room temperature.

Take the oranges and lemon out of the freezer, let them thaw, and cut them into pieces. Be sure to remove all the seeds, then grind the fruit using a meat grinder or blender. Put the ground mixture into the sugar syrup and let it infuse for 5-6 hours. Strain the infused drink through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and place it in the refrigerator to chill. The specified amount of ingredients yields 4 liters, about 1 gallon, of a tasty and wholesome drink.

The homemade orange and lemon drink is ready. Enjoy your meal!
