How to make orange crush at home

If you ask Zimbabweans what they are most proud of, the answers will vary but a lot will agree on these

• The Victoria Falls
• Oliver Mtukudzi
• Sadza
• Mazoe Orange Crush

Like I said last week I prefer the raspberry cordial to the orange one. I have tested other cordials and I do think the one in Zimbabwe is much much better!

The raspberry one was so easy to make, I decided to try with oranges. And I think I nailed it.
As popular as the orange crush is, there are a lot of people who can not drink it because it can leave a tickling sensation and sometimes leads to coughing even with the recommended dilution. There is also the use of preservatives that some people are not comfortable with.  This recipe is just oranges, water, and sugar. As I was making this it occurred to me that the taste may not be what I am expecting like what happened with the raspberry cordial. Unlike a big company that has to make sure that the oranges they use will taste the same all the time, at home, you will not have guarantees. Some oranges will be sweeter and tastier compared to others.

I made two cups but you can easily multiply this recipe.
