  • Freeze Dried orange juice can be used for all kinds of things including a breakfast drink, a sweetener, an additive in recipes or in our case mimosas! Today we are covering how to properly freeze dry orange juice without having an explosion of sticky freeze dried puff inside your freeze dryer chamber. We show how to freeze dry, what brand or type of juice to look for, what types of additives to avoid and how to rehydrate the freeze dried orange juice for best results. We also show how to make freeze dried mimosas and my kid's favorite drink, an Arizona Sunset.
    Freeze dried orange juice is a type of orange juice that has been freeze dried, a process that removes all of the water from the juice while leaving behind the flavor, nutrients, and other properties of the juice. Freeze dried orange juice is a popular ingredient in many types of food and drinks, including instant orange juice mixes, energy bars, and smoothie powders. Because it is lightweight and has a long shelf life, it is also a popular option for backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts who need a source of vitamin C in their diet. To use freeze dried orange juice, it is typically rehydrated with water before being consumed.

    Orange juice the same as yours was on special so we tried it. It does indeed work. However we decided it is not worth the trouble for us. It took 48 hours. I think if we were in the south and had an orange tree it would be worth it. Freeze drying does work as you said.

    So basically you could mix your freeze dried orange juice with two shots of vodka, seal it, and you’d have a screw driver that will last forever. Just need to add water. 😎

    • @faerylite

      Alcohol will evaporate at lower temps than water, so you'll end up just removing your alcohol from the orange powder through freeze drying.

    So, I guess we were lucky. We were given a large quantity of oranges. Not having tried orange juice before we hadn't heard of it being a mess. We peeled them and ran them through a blender, then f/d them. No problems whatsoever. At the end we just mashed the dry cake until it was a powder (easy) and then put it in mason jars. Works well for smoothies or just a high pulp drink.

    I have pre-frozen fresh squeezed OJ into souper cubes of varying sizes. Will it be fine to throw those into the freeze dryer or will they puff up and be a mess since they’re taller? Should I unfreeze and then re-freeze onto the harvest right trays?

    I tried fresh squeezed orange & lemons blended to a powder & stored in a mason jar with anti-air packet & it still got clumped up and hard & couldn’t get it out of the jar after 2 weeks….. it was totally dried. What are your thoughts on anti- moisture packets? Great family video!!👍🏼

    • @live.life.simple.
      @live.life.simple.  Рік тому +1

      I personally do not use moisture packets. If your food is 100% freeze dried and stored properly, it should not have e moisture in it.

    When you weighed the tray prior to freeze drying you didn't say anything about the tray weight and the dividers. Did you subtract that from your total off camera? Thanks.

      If the trays and dividers are figured into the weight before and after, the weight does not change whether or not you use dividers.

      I'm not certain. I only used pulp free because that was the only one at the time that was 100% juice. I wouldn't think the pulp would change things a whole lot.

    I have to ask. Using parchment paper with liquid makes no sense to me. The liquid is going to get under that parchment paper instantly when you pour the liquid in.

    • @live.life.simple.
      @live.life.simple.  Рік тому

      With most things the liquid pushes down the paper before freezing. If a little liquid gets below the paper it's still much better than a whole bunch of freeze dried liquid sticking together. Liquid is not a liquid after freeze drying
