Hubbard's Food Store Double Strength Orange Squash
What it is
This is a concentrated liquid made from oranges and sugar. It is designed to be diluted with water to create an orange-flavored drink. The 'double strength' indicates it has a higher concentration of flavor and sweetness compared to standard squash, meaning you can use less to achieve the desired taste. It is a popular beverage base for many households.
How people cook with it
This squash is primarily used to make a refreshing drink. It can also be incorporated into other culinary creations.
- Diluted with water for a beverage
- Added to sparkling water
- Used in cocktails and mocktails
- Flavoring for desserts
To prepare a drink, simply mix the double strength orange squash with water. A common ratio is one part squash to four parts water, but this can be adjusted to your personal preference for sweetness and flavor intensity. For a more vibrant taste, you can use less water. It can also be mixed with sparkling water for a fizzy beverage or used as a base for homemade ice pops. Experiment with adding it to smoothies or using it to glaze baked goods for a citrusy twist.
How it differs from similar foods
The double strength formulation means this squash is more concentrated than single strength versions. This allows for a more intense orange flavor and sweetness with a smaller amount of product. It also means that a single bottle can be used to make a larger volume of diluted drink compared to a standard squash.
Who it is for
This product is suitable for anyone who enjoys a sweet, orange-flavored drink and wants a convenient way to prepare it at home.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, such as a cupboard. Refrigeration is recommended after opening to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed between uses to prevent spoilage and preserve the flavor of the squash.
