Preparation

1. Gather Ingredients

Collect all the ingredients required for making fresh orange juice, including fresh oranges, sugar, cold water, ice cubes (if desired), and mint leaves (if desired).

2. Wash the Oranges

Thoroughly wash the fresh oranges under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides, then dry them with a clean towel.

Juicing

3. Cut the Oranges

Slice each orange in half horizontally using a sharp knife.

4. Juicing the Oranges

Using a citrus juicer or a manual juicer, extract the juice from each half of the oranges into a bowl or measuring cup. Ensure you capture as much juice as possible.

5. Strain the Juice (optional)

If you prefer pulp-free juice, strain the freshly squeezed juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove the pulp and seeds.

Mixing

6. Combine Ingredients

In a pitcher, combine the fresh orange juice, granulated sugar, and cold water. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

7. Taste and Adjust

Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired, or dilute with more water based on your preference.

Serving

8. Serve Chilled

If you like, add ice cubes to the glasses before pouring the juice. Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch, then serve immediately.

9. Enjoy

Enjoy your freshly made orange juice as a refreshing drink for breakfast or any time of the day!
