How to Make Orange Juice

Step 1

Prepare the oranges by first peeling them. Then, chop them into smaller parts to fit your juicer chute.

Step 2

Feed a few into your juicer chute at a time- voila.

Step 3

Peel the oranges and , optionally, remove and discard the seeds (if you're going to strain the juice then this isn't necessary).

Step 4

Add the orange segments to a blender. You can add a little water to help them blend if needed (1/4 cup should be more than enough not to water it down too much).

Step 5

Blend into a juicy, pulp consistency. Then sieve the resulting pulpy juice through a sieve or nut milk bag or alternatively if you like orange juice with pulp (for more nutrients too) then leave it as is.

Step 6

This probably doesn't need much of an explanation. If you have a lemon/orange juicer at home simply chop the fruit in half, place it over the juicer, press down, and squeeze while rotating back and forth to get as much juice out as possible.

Step 7

For orange juice with pulp, just spoon some directly out from the remaining orange (after squeezing the juice out) and add to your glass.

Step 8

Orange pulp can also be frozen into an ice-cube tray for later usage- within smoothies, broths, or baked goods. Alternatively, the pulp can be composted.
