Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Oranges

    Rinse the oranges under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Cut the Oranges

    Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half crosswise. Make sure to cut straight through the center.

Juicing

  1. 3

    Juice the Oranges

    Using a citrus juicer, press each orange half to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a measuring cup or bowl.

  2. 4

    Strain the Juice (Optional)

    If you prefer pulp-free juice, pour the freshly squeezed juice through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any pulp.

Sweetening

  1. 5

    Add Sweeteners

    Stir in the sugar and honey into the juice until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

Serving

  1. 6

    Chill the Juice

    If desired, refrigerate the juice for about 30 minutes to chill before serving.

  2. 7

    Serve with Ice

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the orange juice over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
