Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Dalandan (local Philippine oranges)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Mint leaves
Instructions
Wash the dalandan oranges thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Cut each dalandan in half crosswise to expose the flesh.
Using a citrus juicer or your hands, squeeze the juice from each dalandan half into a bowl. Aim to extract as much juice as possible.
Strain the juice using a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp and seeds. Pour the strained juice into a pitcher.
Add 2 cups of cold water to the pitcher to dilute the juice to your desired strength.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar until it is completely dissolved in the juice. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preference.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the dalandan juice over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for a burst of aroma and color.
