Recipe: Homemade apple thirst quencher

MANILA, Philippines — Absolutely no sodas for summer! We want to keep it light, healthy and refreshing, so it has got to be a fruit juice concoction — and we’re not talking about sugar-rich powdered juices and juice drinks that have very little real fruit juice content in the first place.

We’re referring to creative fruity thirst-quenchers made using fresh fruit juices and 100% fruit juices and blends poured straight from cartons or bottles. Drinking such juices in addition to water keeps the body properly hydrated and aids in maintaining good digestion.

A juice party hosted by Fly Ace Corporation (exclusive distributor of Old Orchard, Rauch Happy Day, Motts and Welch’s fruit juices in the Philippines) a few years back shared a number of refreshing juice recipes, and Apple Citrus Cooler was one of them.
