Orange squash

Just returned today morning from Nagpur, one of the hottest cities in India, the geographical centre of India with the Zero mile stone. Nagpur's answer to its sweltering heat are fresh and juicy oranges! The oranges grown there are extra sweet and extra orangy than oranges grown anywhere else in the world. Sometimes, I feel, what we get at other places are feeble replicas of this fruit! 

Ingredients:

2 litre squeezed orange juice
2 kg sugar
1 tbsp citric acid
color and essence
3 gm sodium benzoate

Method:

Make syrup of sugar and 1 litre water. Cool. Add all the ingredients and blend well. Mix sodium benzoate in warm water and add to the squash to preserve. Bottle and seal tight. 

And some more....

Avoid the colour if you don't mind lighter and bland looking fruit drinks. The drink will still taste the same.
