Agua de Naranja (Orange Agua Fresca)

I first tasted this orange agua fresca in Oaxaca. Made with fresh oranges, sugar, and water, it's one of the easiest aguas frescas to make.

Juice oranges. Cut oranges in half and extract the juice from them. You can use an electric citrus juicer, manual citrus press, or your hands for this step. If juicing oranges by hand, be sure to use a strainer to catch any pulp or seeds.
Mix and enjoy. Pour orange juice into a large pitcher. Add water and sugar and mix well. Add ice and serve chilled. Garnish with a fresh orange slice, if desired.

My granny has a tangerine tree and I make it my sole purpose to use all the tangerines I can. Tangerines are way smaller than oranges so it has taken me a couple hours making a good amount of juice for the whole family. I feel so silly not thinking of adding water to it! This will take some of the tartness away and will save me juicing time. I wonder if tangerines would give me good skin too... Do you recommend freezing large batches of juice?

Adding one blood orange really took this agua to the next level in terms of presentation--it was such a beautiful color.
