Ingredients
- 4 large navel oranges (or other sweet oranges)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to balance sweetness)
Instructions
- Roll each orange on the counter under your palm to soften them and release juices.
- Cut the oranges in half crosswise (through the equator).
- Juice the oranges using a citrus juicer or reamer, collecting the juice in a bowl.
- Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
- Stir in lemon juice if using. Serve immediately over ice or chilled.
Tips
- For best flavor, use room temperature oranges.
- If you prefer pulp, skip straining or reserve some pulp to stir back in.
- Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days; shake before serving.
