Amazed this has not been reviewed by now. We really enjoyed this combination but have decided that it needs about 1 tsp. of honey - depending on how sweet your oranges are. Other than that it will be made often. Certainly the quality of your oranges make a big difference and I was fortunate to be using freshly picked ones in Portugal.
