Notes
Servings: It depends if there are sauce lovers or sauce haters ... Maybe the sauce (about 700 ml!) is enough for up to 8 people, maybe it’s just enough for 4 - 5.
You may double - or halve or whatever - the ingredients to get more (or less) orange sauce.
Instead of cold water & starch you may also use roux.
You may store the sauce (i. e. leftovers) in the freezer.
