Method
Juicing
- 1
Prepare the Oranges
Select fresh, ripe oranges that feel heavy for their size. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticide residue.
- 2
Cut the Oranges
Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half across the equator. This will make it easier to extract the juice.
- 3
Juice the Oranges
Using a citrus juicer or reamer, press down on each half of the orange and twist to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a bowl or pitcher. Repeat this process for all orange halves.
- 4
Strain the Juice (Optional)
If you prefer pulp-free juice, pour the freshly squeezed juice through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pitcher. Use a spoon to stir and push the juice through the strainer.
Sweetening and Serving
- 5
Add Sweetener (Optional)
Taste the juice. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add granulated sugar or honey to the juice, stirring well until fully dissolved.

Garnish and Serve
Pour the juice into glasses. If desired, garnish with mint leaves and orange slices on the rim of each glass. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
