Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.
*Marked values have additional uncertainty. Calories depends on the documented preparation-retention assumption for orange, thinly sliced. Carbohydrate depends on the documented preparation-retention assumption for orange, thinly sliced. Total sugar depends on the documented preparation-retention assumption for orange, thinly sliced.
Calculation assumptions Estimated per one-quarter batch using unsweetened apple juice. Simmered orange and ginger use documented partial-extraction estimates; whole spices and optional fresh serving garnishes are excluded.
Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 4 equal servings.
Finished yield: about 4 cups
Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.
Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.
