Ingredients
- 8 large oranges, juiced
- 1 inch fresh ginger root, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions
- Start by washing the oranges thoroughly under cold water. Cut them in half and use a juicer or your hands to squeeze out the fresh juice. Pour the juice into a large pitcher.
- Take the fresh ginger root, peel, and grate it finely. Add the grated ginger to the orange juice, stirring gently. The earthy aroma of ginger blending with the tangy citrus will tantalize your senses.

- If you prefer your drink chilled, add a handful of ice cubes to the pitcher or directly to the serving glasses.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.
