Why do we recommend juicing frozen oranges? First of all, because it has a more saturated color than that which is pressed from ordinary fruits. And during the freezing process, the peel largely loses its bitterness! In our recipe, we additionally pour boiling water over the oranges, so the taste of the juice will be almost perfect. There is another reason why the drink is better prepared from frozen fruits. Remember how much liquid is lost when we cut fresh oranges to then squeeze the juice out of them. If you cut frozen fruits, losses are practically eliminated.
