1
Wash the Oranges
Rinse the fresh oranges under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticide residue. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
2
Cut the Oranges
Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half crosswise to prepare them for juicing.

3
Juicing the Oranges
Using a juicer or citrus press, juice each half of the orange, pressing down firmly to extract all the juice. If desired, use a strainer to catch any seeds or pulp.
4
Sweetening the Juice
Taste the juice and, if desired, add sugar to sweeten. Start with 1 tablespoon, mix well, and add more to taste. Optionally, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

5
Serve the Juice
Pour the fresh orange juice into a glass or pitcher. If desired, serve chilled or over ice.
