Homemade lemonade from oranges

Then we'll beat the oranges again with boiling water so that they are slightly melted, cut into several pieces and scrolled along with the rind through a meat grinder or crushed in a blender. Now the resulting gruel is poured with 3 liters of cooled boiled or filtered water and let it brew for 15-20 minutes. At the end of this time, the infusion is percolated through a fine sieve or gauze. Add 7 liters of boiled cold water, sugar and citric acid. To make lemonade more natural instead of acid, you can use lemon juice. Drink should be about 1 hour to get a rich taste and color. Well, that's all - orange lemonade is ready!
