Whenever winter rolls around, I’m always looking for ways to boost my and my family’s immune system. With kids around, it’s easy for a cold to spread to one another so we always try to find ways to increase our Vitamin C intake to stay healthy.
To do so, we pretty much up our intake of orange juice. Did you know that one 8-ounce glass of Florida’s Natural orange juice provides nearly two servings of whole fruit and your daily recommended dose of vitamin C? Yup! Florida’s Natural orange juice is also made from just one simple ingredient — Florida oranges! There are no artificial flavors or ingredients, and no water, sugar or preservatives are added to the juice.

- This is definitely better than store-bought since you can use the best fresh ingredients, making sure its potency is at its maximum potential.
- If you don’t want to whisk everything, feel free to just add it all to a blender to blend it together.
FAQs
You can make this drink ahead of time! What I like to do is to make a large jug of this and leave it in the fridge. This way my kids can pour some out whenever they’re craving it.
I would suggest you make this 2-3 days ahead of time. Just be sure to keep it in the fridge.
I recommend using a spoon to peel your ginger! Scrape the edge of the spoon against the ginger to peel off the skin. Once the skin is removed, you can use a microplane to grate the ginger.
If you don’t have any fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute ground ginger in a pinch. You can use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.
