Soften oranges. Use the palm of your hand to squeeze or roll the orange on the counter or table to soften the orange.

Cut oranges. Cut the orange in half and remove the seeds. If desired, you can use seedless Navel yellow oranges.

Squeeze orange juice. Grasp half an orange and squeeze it vigorously. You can use an orange juicer to squeeze the juice until the oranges are out of juice.

Add oranges. If using a hand-held orange juicer, use a spoon to scrape the orange peel and then add it directly to the orange juice. If you like clear orange juice, use a filter to remove the body before drinking. Add a little black salt or sugar to make the orange juice more delicious. Some oranges are already sweetened and you may not need to add sugar.

Insert the orange into the press through the push tube.

You must prepare a container to catch the orange juice that comes out at the other end of the juicer.
Note that some juicers have the ability to adjust the amount of orange pulp that is squeezed out with the water.

Squeeze orange juice with a food processor

Prepare oranges. Peel and cut the oranges into 2.5 cm cubes. Remember to remove the seeds if the orange has seeds.

Turn on Pulse mode a few times to crush the orange pieces. Then, continue to grind until the oranges are pureed.

Taste. If the orange juice is too dry, add more water. If the orange juice is not sweet enough, add more sugar or sweetener.

Continue grinding. Blend until all of the orange flesh has dissolved into water.

Wait a moment for the orange juice to settle and enjoy.

Advice

Try blending different types of oranges to find the juice you like best. Valencia oranges have seeds but are succulent; Navel oranges are readily available, large and seedless; Cara Cara orange is sweet and has a “slightly cranberry-like” taste.
Make sure that the oranges you use to make the juice are fresh oranges because fresh oranges taste better.
To make orange juice taste more unique than regular oranges, use Moro oranges or “red oranges”. The bold color and flavor of the red-orange goes well with a spicy omelet.

Warning

Florida oranges have more juice than California oranges. You can tell Florida oranges by slicing and looking at the peel because the skin of Florida oranges is much thicker.
