Ingredients

4 large navel oranges (or any sweet variety)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to balance sweetness)
1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional, to taste)
ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Wash the oranges thoroughly. Roll them on the countertop with gentle pressure to help release the juices.
Cut the oranges in half crosswise. Juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds, if desired.
Stir in lemon juice and sweetener if using. Taste and adjust.
Pour into glasses over ice and serve immediately.

Tips

For best flavor, use oranges at room temperature.
Fresh juice is best consumed within 24 hours; store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
