Trying OJ again

[messtafarian]

I'm going to try OJ again but the last time I tried it, with the milk, it made my stomach absolutely revolt. I want to try it again but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same problem and added it successfully using some strategy I haven't heard of.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Most of the year I don't have access to good ripe oranges. One of the commercial brands is better for me than others. My stomach didn't exactly revolt, but some of them didn't taste good or make me feel good, and I suspect excess citric acid from unripe fruit as part of the problem, and possibly also too much of the peel etc included. I used to strain and add sugar and salt and baking soda to the better one. Now I strain it and add only baking soda, and most days it seems OK, if not as good as proper fresh ripe oranges.
I also like it mixed with milk or coffee milk, or made into OJ jelly with gelatine and extra sugar.
