2 lbs or 3 lbs of sugar?
an oz is 28.3 grams most people just do 28
ooo kilo of sugar yikes wow!!!!!
What book are you getting these recipes from? And I've never seen citric acid in any grocery store I've been in.
Order citric acid on Amazon...it's very inexpensive.
Got here through your cola video. Stayed because you two have great energy on screen. New sub.
Thank you!
Same here
Ditto! Subbed right after the Cola episode and now am binge watching all of your videos. 😃
Yeah he's like the cool teacher lol
You deserve more subs. I found the Cola vid too
Saw the 1886 Coca-Cola vid in my feed, this one popped up next and now I think its safe to say I'm hooked on your channel
We are on the same path
Same fella
Literally same 🤷🏼♀️
wtf is youtube doing to us
Same
OMG! I JUST made this....and I KNOW it says to wait 24 hours.....but my hands smelled of oranges, the whole kitchen smelled of oranges...my husband was lurking around, licking his lips, so we said...screw the 24 hours and we made a glass right away......OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I loved your wife's face when she tasted it....and now I know why! Even without waiting the 24 hours it is TO DIE FOR GOOD! Thank you for this recipe!
@@Desi365 Its like orange crush if you get the orangeade syrup to water ratio right. As to the above, it needs the 1 day to mature and take the crazy over the top bite out of it and turn into a sour delight.
@@Desi365 You should be able to find it around the world I think - www.google.com/search?q=orange+crush&tbm=isch
My grandmother told us stories of her family drinking a small shot glass worth of orangeaid, for breakfast every morning during the Depression. Vitamin C during the winter was vital to stave off rickets and scurvy, both realities during that time when food was scarce and most of what they ate were dried beans and rice, with a little bit of meat occasionally. She had 12 brothers and sisters, so that was no small thing for a family that big, that were not farmers. Her father was an electrician, radio repairman, sometimes auto mechanic, played piano for two different churches, all to make ends meet.
She grew up canning and preserving everything when it was plentiful, while she never talked about making orangeaid am sure this was something the family did as well.
Thank you for this wonderful glimpse back into history.
Even during the depression one paycheck could support a family of 12 lol I guess we're in the greater depression now
Scurvy is another name for vitamin C deficiency. However, rickets is caused exclusively by vitamin D deficiency and is the reason why most milk is fortified with vitamin D nowadays.
Adding boiling water to Vitamin C distroys it
In my country (Zimbabwe) this is called Mazoe. It's made by Schweppes & is a staple in EVERY home! Nice work!
Good to see a fellow Zimbabwean

I’m lying on my couch, drinking whiskey, having a lazy Saturday, and have been watching these videos for the last hour. I think I’m gonna make this recipe sometime soon. Great channel! Quality content.
Glen, Ive made this Orange Ade about a dozen times since you've uploaded this video, (also experimented with making lemonade, limeade, etc in the same fashion) When I make the recipe, I filter out the pulp and rinds after letting it sit. I save the rinds and make orange or lemon cake! This is perfect because now whenever im invited to a party I bring a bottle of Orange Ade and orange cake, it is always a hit!
I have an antique sparklets soda siphon that I restored, so whenever I make the concentrate, i make a bottle of seltzer and let both sit overnight
You had me at Jamaican Ting! I’m a Jamaican living in Canada , and haven’t had Jamaican Ting in a while. Definitely giving this a try. Thanks! I appreciate the Jamaica shout out
forbes mag wow. You're an ass. First, don't assume he is black and second, go back to your country and leave Indigenous Canada alone. Prick. Glen, you should remove these racist trolls.
Well, I made it yesterday. Had my first glass this morning. Wow its strong!
In the video he says TWO lbs of sugar, but the recipe says THREE. I followed the recipe.
I was worried that 1 part concentrate with 2 parts water would be too diluted. Nope. This stuff is like orange-flavored hummingbird nectar. Strongly recommend keeping a jug of water in the fridge to mix with. Really like it!
I'm thinking orange-flavored Kool Aid or Tampico are trying to be this - but this is the real deal.
100% recommend - will make again.
Wow. What a beautiful kitchen! The cooktop on the island looks wonderful to use.
WAH! My dad used to make this. Being of a era my father was from. Orange Ade was still good and simple to make. Very cool dude!
I....am.....Loving These Videos!!!!!
(And yes I subscribed!)
I really like the historical bits! Nice videos!
The second I saw that book I was transported back to my grandmas kitchen. Wow. Right in the memories.
I might need to make a jug of Orange Ade myself. Enjoyed the video!
It's good! Our is almost gone and summer hasn't even started yet.
Love to see more Canadian channels in the cooking scene ! Nice video hello from Toronto!
Here's an original recipe for lemonade cordial that I got from my grandmother. Mom was born in 1920, and I'm now 71. Grandma lived in Craighurst Avenue Toronto--I'm now in Adelaide Australia and still make this all the time.
(Converted to metric and ½ of the original.)
14 gm tartaric acid
28 gm citric acid
1 Kg sugar
juice of 3 lemons and half an orange (I have also used a mix of lemons and limes)
finely grated rind (coloured part only) of 1-1.5 lemons/limes and .5 orange
(the amount of rind determines the aromatic lemon/lime taste)
1 litre boiling water
Method
1. Mix all together.
2. Bottle when warm.
3. Keep in ‘fridge.
4. Best after a couple of days, will keep for weeks.
5. Serve with 5-6 parts cold water or soda water.
6. (A bit of mint in the glass can be nice.)
Greg Wormald thank you!
Thank you! Cheers!
You'd want a half kilogram of sugar to halve the recipe. One kilo = 2.2 pounds.
Can you please restore the original recipe
Nice!!! How much time is it possible to keep? Something like 4 weeks?
This was just a delight to watch
2020 “quarantine cooking”... me looking at this when my wallet is in a Great Depression after getting laid off
One ounce is a tablespoon I thought and a pint mason jar is 2 cups or one pound and a quart is 4 cups or two pounds. Pretty sure for those of us that don't have a scale. My Dad is 93 born in 1927 for Christmas he would get a truck, or a ball, and an orange because that's when they came in. He loved the Orange more than the toy. I'm going to be looking into a way to can this recipe if my family likes it. Great video.
Yes! As a grade school boy in the 70s, I remember getting oranges at Christmas, right before the time you could get them year round. Navel oranges were rare, we got Valencias, and were perfectly happy. However, fruit year round is not a virtue. In season, it's much better. Thanks for the video and the recipe!
I made this today and I have to say it is exactly as delicious as it looks.
I don't know why but I love watching these videos repeatedly
Growing up in New Jersey in the 60s oranges for a big deal at Christmas time. Now I live in Florida and my daughter has orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in her yard. If you leave out the citric acid and add brewer's yeast you would make a fantastic jailhouse orange wine... I am freeze distilling some right now
Not really someone who enjoys cooking or makes my own drinks at home, but I love your videos Glen! Great energy on screen and always like watching these videos while doing work throughout the day!
This channel is great, I could watch it all day, nice work.
When I was a kid my parents would put an orange in my stocking at Christmas, I never really got why until I watched this video.
Same. There was always an orange at the toe of the stocking. And candy and nuts.
I was telling a friend that my grandfather used to make Orange Ade when I was a kid and they thought I was crazy. I remember having to order a case of oranges from the farm supply store in our little town. You certainly could not find them at the market. This brings back memories. I'll make some for my family and see what they think :) Thanks!
Just an FYI, 2 ounces is 1/4 cup. A tablespoon is 1/2 an ounce. This looks delicious! I love looking through old recipe books! I have one I just pulled out of my collection that is "favorites" of Home Ec teachers circa 1953.
The 'cups' thing gets even more confusing because Canada and the US use different size measuring cups... so our 1/4 cup is larger than yours. (strange I know 'cause we're neighbours) I have to admit, even though it was hard in grade school when we were told that we were switching to Metric - grams / Kilo's is the only way I can think now.
P.s. We shot the 'Elvis' PB cake this week - the King would be proud!
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I am looking forward to that! As for the cups, this also confuses me. I am metric stupid. Thank goodness for kitchen scales that show both options. I did not know that your cups are different. That really throws a wrench in things now doesn't it?!
Different sized cups throws a wrench in for sure! Let alone Australia uses a different sized Tablespoon - constant confusion when getting recipes from the web.
We have fluid ounces (Volume, what you are talking about) and ounces are also used for weight. Usually when someone says an ounce they mean the weight unless its a liquid then its commonly assumed you mean fluid ounces. A little grey area there so its best to specify if you mean fluid ounces or the weight measurement.
I loved this idea so much that I tried it. but I made mine sugar free I used stevia in place of the sugar. I made it about 2 weeks ago and I just had a glass today. I really like it. I don't have room in my fridge to keep it, so today I am going to take what I have and can it into pint jars. I should get 5 pints. thanks this was fun. Oh and I am going to try the grapefruit one as well and maybe some lemon lime.
So glad the stevia worked out - a lot of people have asked about using it.
7:19 My grandmother (who grew up in the middle of the great depression) actually used to put an orange in each of our stockings at Christmas. It seemed weird (we'd just put them in the fridge with the rest of the oranges) but now suddenly it makes sense.
This is like my second video of watching this guy and he seems like the super nice old teacher that everyone likes
I really love your content. In winter my grand ma used to make this from blood oranges. Sometimes she would steep the fruit juices with aromatics like star anise or juniper! This really brought me back, keep it up! Subbed
Hi in March 2020 from a new subscriber in Erie County, Ohio, across the (much smaller) pond of Lake Erie. Now that we're experiencing life in the time of COVID-19 (instead of Love in the Time of Cholera) I'm sure that this, your Jello ice cream, and other recipes will come in very handy.
Please keep up your series for all of us. You do us all a great service.
You take about seasonal availability, in the late 50's one of my dad's friends was in her late 60's maybe, and she'd go to Florida in winter. She'd always bring back fresh oranges and kumquats for everyone. Was a big treat for us. For back then this was considered very exotic.
This makes me wonder if that's why it's such a big deal with some people to have giant glasses of orange juice at breakfast, especially the more mature folks.
@@boadiceameridionalis3732 that, and Linus Pauling ' s research about vitamin C.
This has been fantastic I'm super excited to try this and maybe squoshen cola.
I remember a super neat treat for when the oranges came in.
Find uncoated thick ,like a centimeter, peppermint stick and
Push the peppermint stick through the rind of a large orange, the acidic juice dissolves the center of the peppermint and in a few minutes you get a peppermint straw through which you can drink a very refreshing minty orange juice.
I love Orange Flavour and I love your Videos ,
Greetings from Germany.
Thumbs up and subscription .
Just watched 3 videos in a row I’m hooked. I really really like these folks. Very pleasant to watch.
"I can feel that Spring is coming. The days are getting longer."
The sarcasm is strong with this one!
Oranges for Christmas are still awesome, but I remember them so well from my childhood.
First video i saw was the coca cola
This was the second.
I had a feeling in the first one, and then when you said "I'm Metric" on here, but when I saw that can of President's Choice can of club soda I knew i had just subbed to a fellow Canadian.
I was too young to know the recipe, but my grandmother made an orange ade concentrate that we mixed with water and It was one of my favorite drinks as a child.
As I live in the UK, you often still encounter Imperial units, meaning for most of the time if I'm baking cakes, I measure them in ounces simply because that's what I've learnt
I remember selling cases of citrus fruits during the winter as a band and choir fundraiser. 😊
"i can feel the spring is coming"
Shows video of back yard covered in snow
Lol
Haha thought the same!
It's a Canadian thing. No doot.😊
Am in Wisconsin. That's called Wishful Thinking.
Mouad Choukri i can feel spring coming too.
Me- (looks out window at snowstorm)
smart, cool, historic, to the point and fun!
This is very similar to how I make my own off brand Orangina.

Orangina is amazing!

In Switzerland, my grandmother generation, she is in her 90s, received as Christmas presents,Oranges and dried nuts and that was it. My generation still celebrated the Krampusnacht as children but afterwords we had Christmas like everyone else with a real pine tree and real candles (I was in my teens when my stepdad once tried to convince my mother to use electrical candles... he was not successful :) ) As a Swiss, living in Portugal for most of my life, oranges are cheap but back home, they're not. So back then, I guess oranges were a really valued commodity to have. Great upload! Cheers!
Me too, imperial system is so mind boggling.. LOOKS DELICIOUS!
I'm in the US......but I agree!
Wow. Time to add this channel to my favorite subscribed channel category: informative, chill and entertaining. Squozen.
When people who lived through the Great Depression eat better then you
In some cases very true - it would have been easier living on a farm.
My grandma grew up during the Great Depression. She also kept thousands of cans of food you know just in case lol.
People : Yes, that thing that you said is true!
Me : Suga is in your profile photo! Are you an ARMY?????
Thank you for the recipe! I made a batch with Cara Cara oranges and it was absolutely delicious. Pretty large it's lasted us about a month and a half! Really appreciate all your recipes they're very fun.
This made me relies why my grandparent always put oranges in the stockings for Christmas.
Canadian living in the States. Great to see Canadian talent online. And... that PC club soda makes me homesick.
Would love to see a grapefruit version of this! Picked up 2 Ting with my rotis from Island Foods and it came to $5! Ali’s Roti in Parkdale makes their own grapefruit drink. It has a different flavour than Ting but still unique and pretty good.
It's on our list! I love Ting, but not the price here in Toronto...
I agree. I fell in love with the Pelligrino pompelmo soda, and have recently discovered the Q grapefruit soda. I'd make it just on this video alone.
Be careful, grapefruit juice messes with your p450 enzyme and makes medications stronger than usual.. nice for psychedelics, not so much for rx meds Oo
@@parishna4882 That' must be why i t tastes so good to me. I'm not supposed to have even one. And I need a diabetic friendly (or friendlier) version of this recipe. I guess I could use Splenda.
I did this with a soda stream. I just added a little orange juice concentrate to the water then zapped it. No sugar added. Fantastic!
Interestingly, in Australia oranges were not so big a deal, but we did school fundraisers with cherries!
YOU always do the fun things!
i've always preferred my manual citrus press to the hand reamers. so quick and clean. high yield too.
I remember mom making this when I was young. Thought the recipe was gone for ever. Thanks for sowing it.
"It's healthy" *Has two pounds of sugar* lol. Teasing, I love this video and I've never seen Orange Ade before
The recipe calls for three pounds and I'm wondering if he just misspoke or nah.
Yes so much sugar ... wondering if could substitute? 🤔
I would probably use more than 1 or 2 cups of sweetener. The orangeade isn't meant to be served straight from the jar, it's diluted before drinking with water or club soda or however you would like to do it. So the base flavoring is meant to be almost syrup like.
@@crimsonbarrel322 think about how much are the recipe makes, though.
Fantastic video well though out and logical. What's more it reminds me of when I was a young kid . The seasonal foods strawberries, grapes, cherries, and so on. How i treasurer those memories
5:33 That look, that smile; you, sir, are the Dr Frankenstein of beverage concoction.
I assure you I mean it as a compliment.... though if you go around screaming "It's alive!" off camera after a success wouldn't surprise me.
How fun! Love it thanks
Raise your hand if your mouth started watering when he was juicing the oranges.🙋🏻♂️
very entertaining been binch watching you're channel very fun
So this is what Richard Dawkins has been doing in his retirement, cool
Ciência. Rs.
Spring has come! Thanks
This looks incredible! Great job! One question: The original recipe says 3 lbs of sugar, yet you said 2 pounds. Did you misspeak, or actually use 2 lbs? Thanks!
It looks like he only used 2 pounds for some reason; a litre is just under two pounds and he filled it up just above the 1L mark.
Our oranges are ripe so just made this...it was great! So nice to have a recipe that will help me preserve juice!
Did u put 2 pounds of sugar in? The recipe says 3.
They may have altered it slightly, they seem to really not enjoy overly-sugary drinks on the channel, because they have complained about them once or twice before. Tbh I don't see any issues with that, only thing I would say is a disclaimer would have been nice.
It might be like sweet tea. If this is a southern recipe the sugar is going to be at the edge of solubility in hot water.
Country time lemonade, powdered recommends 4 scoops(34g scoop x 4=136g, or ~2/3 cup)per 2 U.S. quarts of water. Country time lemonade is mostly sugar, fructose, and citric acid. This recipe calls for 1359 grams of sugar per 2 imperial quarts(~2.4 U.S. quarts) of water. 136g of mix per 2 quarts, 1359g of sugar alone per 2.4 quarts. It gets diluted down 1 part in 4 poured into the glass though. Still pretty high sugar(about 2.3 times as sweet as country time lemonade), so only using 2 pounds would make it just a bit sweeter than modern mass market lemonade.
At 0:13 he shows the original recipe. 3 lbs. of sugar
@@Grimmwoldds Idk, I'm from ga and the sweet tea I grew up on was very strong and only lightly sweet compared to the corn syrup you get served in McDonalds or restaurants. I usually have to order half and half. Like half sweet half unsweet.
@@jacobuponthestone9093 I have the same experience in MS. It seems the sweet tea gets sweeter every year, and the people get fatter every year
You have the most amazing channel and you and your wife are just amazing together. Thank you for all of these great recipes and your own take on them. Everything is so simple and wholesome, I just love these videos.
Well it’s coronavirus time and this video comes up
Stopping in from Michigan! Hope you're doing well and stocked with tp😂
Have been binge-watching your cooking videos after coming across them on RUclips. Immediately inspired to make the orangeade recipe after seeing it. Bought organic oranges, lemons, Domino sugar, citric acid and even a kitchen scale ...processed it all following the steps and just now realized you said two pounds of sugar vs. three pounds in the recipe. I’m sure it’ll be fine in 24 hours.
Juiced three more organic oranges and added a half pound more of sugar. I can see that too much sugar just makes the syrup sickeningly sweet, even when cut with water - but it’s less tart now. I’m going to filter out the zest and may juice more oranges into my batch to balance out the citric acid burn.
I added more oranges to the mix - I think I ended up with twelve total - and I left all the zest in after all. The mix was still tart and it ended up aging in the fridge from neglect until I had some on this past blazing hot Saturday - and it worked! Had a quart of syrup and blended it with water for beverages all day. Thanks for the recipe and inspiration. Now on to other citrus...
6.5 ounces is a small price to pay for FREEDOM.
MURRICUH.
Freedom isn't divisible by ten
@@Michael-pl4vn yes it is when you go metric.... God bless THE REST OF THE WORLD
What a beautiful grip in that pot full of water, great skill
Sooooo is it two pounds of sugar or three? You said 2, recipe says 3. And where did you get imperial from?
Yeah im confused
More remakes of old recipes 👍👍 got me hooked
Seems like the Depression Era loved their sugar. 😲
One of the most cheap source of calories and flavor. Still is today, but in the form of HFCS.
I am now old enough to be the grandparent and I remember the orange in the toe of my Christmas stocking being a very big deal in the late fifties and early sixties. So, I can imagine the importance of oranges in the winter s of the depression. thanks for the history.
Boiling water and plastic? Use glas. Greatr recipe, thanks!
Its boil safe
hey, a time traveler here ! LoL
I'm glad that i click on this video cos COVID-19 global pandemic situation going on now in 2020 april, so this'll help to keep us at home for a while.
thanks.
We call it Tang in Australia
Tangerine
In my hometown in rural Appalachia, the FFA still sells boxes of oranges in the winter. It is a tradition that never died in our little neck of the woods.
How come ya'll didn't cheers?
She wanted to lol
Glen we made the orange ade and used sparkling water. I went out a bought a soda stream. This is now our preferred citrus stretcher. Delicious.
The recipe says 3lbs sugar but when you made it you only used 2 lbs was that on purpose?
I was about to make some comment
I noticed that as well
I just did it again - triple amount this time, since we have some nice oranges this year. I’m kinda addicted to it. Heartily greetings from Germany.
Three POUNDS of sugar? LOL so healthy...
*But if it comes in a can you drink it anyway!*
Thank you so much for doing Depression Era recipes.
is this Richard Dawkins making orange juice?
Delightful! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Does it have alcohol?
I think alcohol helps my depression 😞😏😋😃😆😂😂
yep, because a depressant helping depression makes any sense. It just makes you not remember being depressed, doesn't fix the issue.
This sounds absolutely delicious.
In Florida we just steal oranges off random orange groves. Just don't get caught doing it.
I've made this twice so far, this summer. Very good recipe! I made a few tweaks, though. Firstly, I like to strain out all of the orange rind bits after the mixture has had a chance to mature for a few days. Secondly, a little bit of quality vanilla extract gives it some extra depth.
It's not an American beverage recipe without stupid amounts of sugar, even if it's from the Depression era.
Ahem... Canadian beverage recipe.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Oh, I had assumed the recipe book was from the US as you were unfamiliar with the ounce measurement! Absolutely no offense intended, and I'm actually pondering to try this one out, commercial soda has became quite expensive around here, though I may replace the refined sugar with the more natural brown sugar. ;)
Really interesting discussion of food history at the end.
