1
Prepare the Oranges
Select 3 ripe, juicy oranges. Make sure they are firm and heavy for their size, which indicates they are full of juice.
2
Wash the Oranges
Rinse the oranges under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3
Cut the Oranges
Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half horizontally. This will allow for easier juicing.
4
Juice the Oranges
Using a manual or electric juicer, press each half of the orange to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a glass or bowl.
5
Strain (Optional)
If you prefer pulp-free juice, pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds.
6
Serve
Pour the freshly squeezed orange juice into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutrients.
