Instructions
Squeeze the oranges to produce about 1 quart of unfiltered juice. Add water and mix well in a half gallon mason jar (I like these) taking care to leave an inch or two at the top.
Stir in the sea salt and orange extract. Screw on the lid and leave on the kitchen counter for two days. Refrigerate.
You may serve the chilled orangina plain or mixed with a bit of seltzer water to add additional carbonation. Alternatively, you can bottle the fermented orange juice to transform it into orangina – an orange soda like beverage. Click here for a video how-to on bottling homemade fermented drinks.
The orangina will last a month or two in the refrigerator and will develop an appealing orange/banana like flavor after a few days.
