There is nothing as satisfying as a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It may take a couple minutes longer than you expect. However, the taste is worth the effort and the wait. Try it out: Make some and see if you want to go back to drinking bottled juice again!
Steps
Soften the orange. Tightly squeeze or roll the oranges firmly with the palm of your hand across the counter or table to soften them up.[1]
Cut the orange. Slice the orange in half and remove the seeds. If you want to go seedless, use navel oranges.Advertisement- Juice the orange. Grip the one of the orange halves tightly and squeeze it by hand, using a plain juicer to coax all the juice out.
- Add pulp. Scrape the orange with a spoon and add the pulp directly to the juice if you use a hand juicer. If you prefer clear juice, pour the juice through a strainer before drinking.Add some pinch of black salt or sugar for more flavor. Some oranges are already sweet.[2]
Drink up! Enjoy a crisp, cold glass of freshly squeezed, unpasteurized orange juice, the way it was intended to be!
- Prepare the oranges. Peel and quarter the oranges in sections. Smaller oranges such as mandarins may only need to be broken in half.[3]
Process the oranges through the feed tube.- Make sure you have something to catch all that delicious juice coming out the other end!
- Note that some juicers have the ability to adjust how much pulp is extracted with the juice. Check out How to Find a Good Juicer for more information.
- Prepare your oranges for blending. Peel the oranges, then cut or tear them into 1-inch chunks. If the oranges are seeded, be sure to remove those as well.[4]
- Pulse a few times to break up the oranges. Then process continuously until the oranges are pureed.
- Taste test the juice. If it is too dry, add some water. If not sweet enough, add sweetener to taste.
- Run the blender again. Run until it is liquified.
- Let sit for a few minutes to settle, then serve!
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat are the ingredients for orange juice?
How.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerThe basic ingredient for making orange juice is fresh oranges. You only need other ingredients if you wish to change the flavor or consistency of the orange juice, such as adding water to dilute a pulpy orange juice, milk for a creamy orange juice, other fruit juices for a fruit salad flavor, sugar for sweetening, or mint for a fresh, zesty taste. - QuestionHow do you make pulp from orange juice?How.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerAlthough a fine distinction, this is about separating rather than making pulp, from the orange juice. To do so, place a strainer over the top of a pitcher or bowl. Pour the orange juice into the strainer, and the liquid will run into the pitcher or bowl, while the strainer will catch the pulp. You could also use a colander lined with cheesecloth first, pour the juice in and capture the pulp, then squeeze out any remaining liquid into the pitcher or bowl. - QuestionAre oranges good for you?How.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerYes, oranges are certainly good for you. They contain a high amount of vitamin C, with just one orange providing you with your daily vitamin C requirements. They also contain good dietary fiber when eaten whole. Other nutrients include folate and antioxidants, which contribute to reducing the risk of cancer and stroke as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Apart from the fiber, a half cup of orange juice will deliver the same nutrients as an orange, provided it’s freshly squeezed. As with any food, enjoy orange juice in moderation, as juice is high in calories. Just be aware that some people are allergic to oranges; if you get skin rashes around the mouth or feel unwell (headaches, nausea, etc.) after eating oranges, speak to your doctor.
Tips
- Try different varieties of oranges, to see which you like best for juices. Valencia oranges have seeds, but are juicy; navels are easy to get at, are large, and have no seeds; Cara Cara's are sweet, and have a "tangy cranberry-like zing," according to Sunkist.[5]Thanks
- For a different take on the standard orange juice, use Moro oranges, also known as "blood oranges." Their bold color and flavor will go well with a spicy omelette.Thanks
- Make sure that the oranges you use are fresh. It increases the orange juice flavor.Thanks
Warnings
- Florida oranges are far juicier than California oranges. You can recognize Florida oranges when you cut them because the skin is much thinner.[6]Thanks
