When I talked about my mom and oranges, it brought back fond memories of my mum making orange juice for the family... Okay, not really fond for her but it's fond for me and my siblings since we got to drink it... Hee! Hmmz.. and did I say she make the juice manually? Yup, by halving the fruits and squeeze them using a manual orange/ lemon juicer. Actually I tried it a couple of times when I need to juice just 1 or 2 oranges for my girl... It's not too bad if its just 1 or 2.. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't lazy to do it manually but I was not satisfied with the amount of juice yielded when doing it manually. I remember that it took around 3-4 medium sized oranges to fill a big mug when my mom did it... (Great work, Mom!)
Today, before I set off for a short trip, I decided to get my helper's help to pose as my model (again) so that I could record the juicing clip for sharing. This time, we did a mixture of fruits... hmmz, yes a mixture but not really a mixture... Oh, it's getting confusing! See below...
Part 1 - Apple and Red Grapes (for my girl)
Part 2 - Oranges (just oranges, for the family)
And we did this without having to rinse/wash the juicer during the transition. WuhoO~* And yup yup yup! I finally managed to video juicing the oranges... I thought I did but I realized those were just pictures earlier on. OOps!
Ready? Let's start with the apples and grapes! (Tips on juicing apples: Not everyone read every entry of my juicing diary, so I'd echo it here... Remove the seeds when juicing apples as they were toxic.) These grapes and apples yielded a bottle and slightly more of apple-grape juice. Yummy~*
Here's on the oranges... (Tips on peeling oranges: I was probably the last to know but in case if you didn't know either, here's an effective way by using knife to 'slice' the skin, then simply peel it off. That won't hurt your nails so badly if you were to peel the skin directly using your nails... Not sure if you got what I meant but I video it anyway)
These small oranges (about 20?) yielded about 2L of juice... WuhoO~*
So in the end, nope, I did not juice the bananas... My girl loves it as it is... I could probably make banana smoothie if there's leftover... Wahhahhaa~*
