HOW TO MAKE FRESH ORANGE JUICE

 

  • 4-6 ripe oranges (depending on size and juiciness)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • A pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)

Equipment:

  • Citrus juicer or manual juicer
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Pitcher or jug
  • Strainer (optional, if you prefer a smoother juice)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oranges:

    • Wash the oranges thoroughly under running water.
    • Roll the oranges on the countertop using your palm to soften them and make them easier to juice.
    • Cut the oranges in half.
  2. Juice the Oranges:

    • Use a citrus juicer, manual juicer, or simply squeeze the orange halves by hand to extract the juice.
    • If you prefer a smoother juice without any pulp, strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or jug to remove any seeds and excess pulp.


  3. Sweeten and Enhance the Flavor (Optional):

    • Add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar if you like your juice sweeter, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Chill and Serve:

    • Add ice cubes to the pitcher or directly into the glasses to make the orange juice chilled and refreshing.
    • Pour the orange juice into glasses.
  5. Enjoy:

    • Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and sweet oranges for the best flavor. Navel oranges and Valencia oranges are great options for juicing.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the juice according to your preference by varying the amount of sugar or using honey or a natural sweetener instead.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a splash of lime or lemon juice to the orange juice.
  • If you have an electric juicer, the process will be even quicker and more efficient.

Enjoy your homemade fresh orange juice!
