Fresh Orange Juice Ingredients
Method
Fresh Orange Juice Directions
- 1
Prepare the Oranges
Wash the fresh oranges under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Cut the Oranges
Using a sharp knife, cut the oranges in half crosswise. Make sure to cut them evenly for maximum juice extraction.

Juicing the Oranges
Using a manual citrus juicer or an electric juicer, place each half of the orange on the juicer and press down firmly to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a measuring cup or pitcher.

Strain the Juice (optional)
If you prefer pulp-free juice, pour the extracted juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another pitcher to separate the pulp.

Sweeten the Juice
Taste the freshly squeezed orange juice. If desired, add granulated sugar to taste, stirring until fully dissolved. If the juice is too thick, you can add water to reach your desired consistency.

Serve
In a glass, add ice cubes and pour the freshly squeezed orange juice over the ice. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
