  How To Prepare

  1. Start by selecting 6-8 large, juicy oranges. The juicier the oranges, the better your orange juice will taste. Give them a good wash to remove any dirt or residue.

  2. Roll the oranges and lemon on a hard surface to soften them up and make them easier to juice. Cut the oranges and lemon in half and juice them using a juicer or a citrus reamer. Make sure to remove any seeds or large pulp pieces.

  3. If you like your orange juice on the sweeter side, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or sugar to the juice. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.

  4. This may sound like a strange addition, but trust us, a pinch of salt can really enhance the flavor of your orange juice. It helps to balance out the sweetness and brings out the natural flavors of the citrus fruits.

  5. Once you've sweetened your orange juice to your liking, give it a good stir to ensure that the honey or sugar is evenly distributed.

  6. Pour your orange juice into a glass filled with ice cubes. Chilling your orange juice makes it even more refreshing and enjoyable, especially on a hot day.

  7. For a fun and refreshing twist, garnish your orange juice with a few fresh mint leaves. Not only does it add a pop of color, but it also adds a subtle minty flavor that pairs beautifully with the citrusy notes of the orange juice.
