How to Make Orange Drink Concentrate

  1. Juice 6 large oranges (approximately 1 ½ cups of fresh orange juice).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, strain the concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp (optional).
  6. Store the concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  7. To make a refreshing glass of orange juice, mix 2 ounces of concentrate with 6 ounces of cold water. Adjust the amount of water to your preferred sweetness.
