Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Oranges

    Thoroughly rinse the fresh oranges under cool running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

  2. 2

    Cut the Oranges

    Using a sharp knife, cut each orange in half crosswise to prepare them for juicing.

Juicing

  1. 3

    Juice the Oranges

    Using a citrus juicer, press each half of the orange to extract the juice into a bowl or pitcher. Make sure to collect all the juice from each half.

  2. 4

    Strain the Juice (Optional)

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

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Sweeten the Juice (Optional)

    If desired, add sugar and a pinch of salt to the juice. Stir well to combine until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Pour the juice into glasses over ice if desired, and enjoy your refreshing freshly squeezed orange juice!
