Shopping List:

4-5 fresh oranges

1 fresh lemon

granulated sugar

water

NOTES:

This is my interpretation of the original recipe with no changes. I’ve included the original below.

You will need a small pan and a metal strainer to make the simple syrup.

I also strained the fresh orange juice and lemon juice. No pulp just how I like it.

If you only have small oranges, you will probably need more like 6 oranges to make the fresh orange juice.

Having a couple extra oranges on hand won’t hurt because you might want more of an orange flavor.

2 Pints is equal to 4 Cups which was my math ha-ha therefore 4 Cups of total water.

Lastly, serve over ice, garnish with orange slices.

Ingredients:

juice of 4 Sunkist Oranges
Rind of 1 Sunkist Orange
Juice of 1 Sunkist Lemon
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 Pints Water

Directions:

Combine the rind of one orange, 1 Cup water and 1/3 Cup sugar in a small pan.
Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. (this is simple syrup)
In a large pitcher, combine 3 Cups of water, juice of 4 oranges, juice of one lemon.
Strain the orange rind from simple syrup, then add simple syrup to the pitcher and stir.
Serve over ice, Enjoy!
