Ingredients
4 large navel oranges (or 6 medium)
1 tablespoon sugar (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Roll the oranges on the counter with your palm to soften them and release juices.
Cut each orange in half crosswise.
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 sugar until dissolved, if using. Serve immediately over ice or chilled.
Tips
For best flavor, use room temperature oranges.
To reduce bitterness, avoid juicing the white pith too much.
Store leftover juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
