Homemade Orange Juice (No Added Sugar)

 

 

Ingredients:

• 6-8 fresh oranges (enough to yield about 2 cups of juice)
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges: Wash the oranges thoroughly. Cut each orange in half.
2. Juicing: Use a citrus juicer or a reamer to extract the juice from each half. If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a fork to press and twist the orange halves to release the juice into a bowl.
3. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and seeds.
4. Chill: Pour the juice into a pitcher. Add ice cubes if you like your juice chilled.
5. Garnish (Optional): Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
6. Serve: Pour the juice into glasses and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste!

Tips:

• Choose ripe, juicy oranges for the best flavor.
• If you prefer a little sweetness, you can add a small amount of honey or agave syrup, but this will add a bit of sugar.
