Prepare all ingredients for the preparation of homemade lemonade from oranges and lemons. It is advisable to choose juicy citrus fruits with a thin skin.
The weight of my oranges is slightly less than 0.5 kg. Limonov — about 300 gr.
In order to make it easier and to the maximum to squeeze the juice from citrus fruits, you need to ride them on a solid surface, pressing your palm on the fruit. After cut into two halves and squeeze the juice.
