Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oranges

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

  2. 2

    Cut the Oranges

    Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half horizontally to expose the juicy segments.

  3. 3

    Juicing the Oranges

    Place a half orange on a citrus juicer or your hand, and press down firmly to extract the juice. Repeat with all orange halves until all juice is collected.

  4. 4

    Straining (Optional)

    If you prefer a pulp-free juice, pour the extracted juice through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher.

  5. 5

    Sweetening the Juice

    Add the granulated sugar to the juice and stir well until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  6. 6

    Serving the Juice

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the fresh orange juice over the ice. Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
