You've never had a glass of orange juice taste this good. Fresh squeezed orange juice can easily be made without an electric juicer in just a few minutes! It's also better than store-bought, with no added sugar, but still refreshing and sweet!
Select oranges that are ripe that have a slight give to them when gently squeezed. Wash thoroughly under cold water.
Manual Juicer / Citrus Reamer Method
Slice the oranges in half and remove any seeds.
Place your manual juicer or citrus reamer over a bowl and squeeze the juice from the cut oranges. For the manual juicer, twist the orange slice back and forth multiple times until all the juice is released.
Pour into glasses and enjoy!
Blender or Food Processor Method
Peel oranges and remove most of the white pith if possible (this helps make the juicer sweeter). Pull apart the slices and place in the blender or food processor.
Blend until a smooth juice forms. You may need to add a splash of water to get things moving.
Your juice may look a little frothy at this point. It's completely fine to enjoy it immediately or you can strain it to remove the pulp if you prefer a smoother juice.
To strain: Use a nut milk bag or fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. For a nut milk bag, add the pulp inside, then gently squeeze the bag to release the juice over a bowl. For the strainer, use the back of a spoon to push on the pulp and release the juice into the bowl.
