orange-and-strawberry-juice

Try this fruit beverage for a nice change from straight orange juice. It looks lovely in the glass when it’s garnished with fresh fruit. Add a little sparkle with a splash of club soda. Freeze some strawberries overnight and pop them in the drink just before serving for some edible ice cubes that won’t dilute your drink.

Yield : Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 12 strawberries
  • 6 oranges, plus 2 for garnish
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds scraped from 1⁄3 vanilla bean
  • Ice cubes

Tools and Equipment:

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Citrus reamer or manual juicer

Directions

1. Remove the leaves from the strawberries. Put the strawberries in the blender and coarsely chop them.

3. Cut the remaining oranges into slices about 1⁄4 inch thick and put them in a pitcher along with the ice cubes.
