  • Wash the orange thoroughly with water and dry up with a towel.
  • Cut the oranges horizontally.
  • Separate the pulp of oranges and its peels with the help of a spoon.
  • Soak the peel of 5 oranges into the water for about 15 minutes.
  • Put the pulp of oranges into a blending jar to take out the juices.
  • Very Lightly blend it. (Don't blend too long because seeds are inside the pulp and too long blending can make the juice bitter in taste.)
  • Strain the orange juice.
  • Squeeze out the excess juice by lightly pressing on the pulp with the help of a spoon and keep aside.
  • Scrape out the inner white part of the soaked orange peels with the help of a spoon.

  • Reduce the heat to medium and boil the sugar solution for another 10 minutes and turn off the gas, allow to cool completely.
  • After cooling down the boiled orange peels, grind it in a grinding jar and make a smooth paste.
  • Now add the orange juice, lemon juice and orange peel paste to the sugar syrup at room temperature and mix together.
  • Strain the mixture.
  • The orange squash is ready to serve without any preservatives.
  • At this time, I have added a pinch of orange food colour (this is totally optional).
