Orange drink
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. To prevent the drink from tasting slightly bitter, be sure to freeze the citrus fruits beforehand for at least half an hour in the freezer. Another way to remove bitterness is to pour boiling water over them, but in this case, you'll need to add plenty of ice to the drink. Choose juicy, fragrant, and ripe oranges. Serve chilled.
