Sparkling Citrus & Mint: Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Remix
Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice with Mint Remix
This recipe is a vibrant twist on classic orange juice, bursting with fresh mint and a touch of fizz (optional). It's easy to make and perfect for a refreshing start to your day!
Ingredients:
• 2-3 oranges (depending on size)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• Honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
• 1/2 cup sparkling water (optional)
• Ice cubes
Utensils:
• Citrus reamer (or electric juicer)
• Muddler (optional)
• Glass
• Knife (optional)
Instructions:
1. Wash and prep the oranges: Give your oranges a good scrub under running water. If you prefer pulp-free juice, use a knife to remove the peel and white pith before juicing.
2. Extract the sunshine: Juice your oranges using a citrus reamer or electric juicer. Aim for around 1 cup of fresh orange juice.
3. Muddle the mint (optional): If you want a more intense mint flavor, muddle a handful of mint leaves in your glass. Gently press the leaves with a muddler to release their oils.
4. Sweeten it up (optional): If your oranges aren't quite sweet enough, add a drizzle of honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup to taste.
5. Fill your glass with joy: Pour the fresh orange juice into your glass.
6. The grand finale (optional): For a sparkling surprise, top it all off with 1/2 cup of your favorite sparkling water. Grapefruit-flavored adds a nice twist!
7. Chill and enjoy: Add ice cubes and give your juice a quick stir. Take a sip and savor the burst of fresh orange, cool mint, and a touch of fizz (if you went that route).
Tips:
• Use room temperature oranges for maximum juice yield.
• Adjust the amount of mint and sweetener to your preference.
• Leftover juice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the flavor is best enjoyed fresh.
Get creative!
• Try adding a splash of grenadine for a layered effect.
• Muddle a few berries with the mint for a fruity twist.
• Garnish your drink with a fresh orange slice and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.
