Homemade Orange Juice Powder

Sep 14, 2022Brian Witmer

This recipe makes about 7 cups of orange juice mixture to freeze dry or about 1-1/2 cups of orange juice powder

Directions 

    1. Peel the oranges
    2. Add oranges and water to a blender and blend until smooth
    3. Add parchment paper to your trays
    4. Pour the orange juice into your trays
    5. Add dividers if you are using them. (20 portions work great for this recipe)
    6. Pre Freeze when possible
    7. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 32 hours)
    8. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

    Rehydration 

    Add 1 cup of cold water to ⅓-½ cup of freeze-dried orange juice powder. Stir in a glass or shake in a shaker bottle or jar. Enjoy

    Notes

    A high-powered blender like a Vitamix will give you a smoother consistency of orange juice. Zest your orange before peeling and freeze-dry the zest for shelf-stable orange zest.

     

    Cycle times & rehydration for reference only. Your results may vary.
