Laranjada, AKA orange juice.
This recipe is a oldie, when a kid my aunt's husband used to make this for us when we got oranges for cheap. It is not pure undiluted orange juice. Maybe it is the oranges that we use that aren't that sweet, maybe it is that we want to stretch said juice for more than one or two people, one way or another we dilute the juice and sweeten it.
Since my family is on a budget and we got some oranges from a friend, said oranges were spoiling, they are likely quite old. My mother bitched that I should do something with them because it they are spoiling. I did eat some but I decided to juice them and get rid of the issue. Since I made the juice I decided to post this recipe, well technique, here for anyone who is in a budget or just want to stretch the orange juice.
Ingredients:
Oranges, as many as you want or have, I used around 12, I say at least 2 to make a couple glasses of juice
Limes or lemons, the secret ingredient is adding around one lemon for each 4 oranges, at least it is how I was taught, I always add it so I don't know how it will turn without it
Sugar or any other sweetener to taste
Water, I use the same amount of water to the final amount of citrus juice, you can dilute it a bit more if you think that is too strong
Directions:
Squeeze out the juice of the oranges and limes/lemons, I used a juicing attachment on my food processor, if you don't have one you might have to do it manually or use one of those hand juicers. Strain out the pulp if you don't like it on the juice. Mix in a jug with water and sugar, taste it to adjust the acidity and sweetness, store in the fridge and serve cold. Drink in two or three days at most.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe if you try it.
