Strawberry Orange Juice Ingredients
Fresh, ripe, in-season strawberries: For flavorful juice, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Organic strawberries are recommended to avoid pesticides. Frozen strawberries can also be used.
Orange juice: Adds a slight sour and enhances the sweetness of the juice. Freshly squeezed orange juice is preferred, but store-bought can also be used.
Sweetener (Optional): Sometimes, strawberries are not sweet enough, so in that case you should use sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, sugar e.t.c
How To Make Orange Strawberry Juice
First, take fresh strawberries and chop them up. Place the strawberries in a high-speed blender along with maple syrup or sugar. Blend on high until completely smooth and pureed.
Next, pour chilled orange juice into a tall glass. Slowly pour in the strawberry puree, watching it swirl together beautifully.
Lastly, I topped it off with a fresh strawberry slice nestled on the rim of the glass as a colorful garnish.
How To Store
Refrigerator Storage
After making strawberry orange juice, it’s best to drink it right away. If you have any juice left, you can keep it in a closed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Before you drink the juice from the fridge, mix it up a little to blend everything back together.
Freezer Storage
If you want to keep the juice for longer, you can freeze it for up to 2 months. Pour the juice into bags or ice cube trays and put them in the freezer. You can use the frozen juice in smoothies, slushies, or let it thaw and drink it.
