Method

Juicing

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruits

    Wash the oranges and grapefruits thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

  2. 2

    Cut the Fruits

    Using a sharp knife, cut the oranges in half crosswise. If using grapefruit, cut them in half as well.

  3. 3

    Juice the Fruits

    Using a citrus juicer or reamer, juice the oranges and grapefruits by pressing down and twisting to extract as much juice as possible.

  4. 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 or seeds.

Serving

    Add Sugar (Optional)

    If desired, stir in sugar to taste until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness based on your preference.

  2. 6

    Garnish (Optional)

    Add fresh mint leaves to the juice for a refreshing touch. Serve the juice chilled or over ice.
