Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Oranges

    Thoroughly wash the fresh oranges under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

  2. 2

    Juicing the Oranges

    Cut each orange in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. Collect all the juice in a large bowl or pitcher.

  3. 3

    Straining the Juice

    If desired, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp and seeds for a smoother texture.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with 4 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.

  2. 5

    Stir Well

    Using a whisk or large spoon, stir the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Chilling

  1. 6

    Chill the Juice

    Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the orange juice for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to serve cold.
