What is an orange?
An orange is a citrus fruit harvested from orange trees. It has a thick and hard rind, and its flesh is generally segmented, containing the juice which is beneficial in many ways.
Various types of oranges are known, such as tangelo, "agua de Dios," and other orange varieties which are distinguished by the variation in their flavors. Some are sour, some bland, others very acidic, etc.
How can we prepare this delicious juice?
First, wash the oranges and peel them. Use a knife to remove the rind and the white pith surrounding the flesh, ensuring only the pulp remains.
After peeling all the oranges, cut each into four pieces, remembering to remove the seeds. Add the pieces to the blender, pour in the water and honey, and blend.
Once blended, you can strain the mixture to remove any leftover orange pulp if you wish. Serve in glasses, add ice, and voilà! Enjoy your delightful orange juice.
