Yield Makes 7 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
6 cups fresh orange juice, strained (from about 14 oranges)

Steps:

  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and add saffron. Cover, and let cool.
  • Combine orange juice and saffron syrup in a pitcher. Divide orangeade among ice-filled glasses.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for orangeade. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use frozen or canned orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Choose the right type of sugar: You can use granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or simple syrup to sweeten your orangeade. If you are using granulated sugar, be sure to dissolve it completely in the water before adding the orange juice.
  • Add flavorings: You can add other flavors to your orangeade, such as lemon juice, lime juice, or ginger ale. You can also add fresh herbs, such as mint or basil.
  • Make it bubbly: If you want your orangeade to be bubbly, you can add carbonated water or club soda. You can also add a scoop of sherbet or ice cream to make a fizzy orangeade float.
  • Serve it chilled: Orangeade is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.

Conclusion:

Orangeade is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious orangeade that will be enjoyed by everyone.
