Instructions
Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by collecting fresh blood oranges. You’ll need about 4-6 oranges for a generous serving. Additionally, have a juicer and a strainer ready. If you like, you can also prepare some ice cubes and a natural sweetener like honey or agave.
Wash the Oranges
- Before juicing, wash the blood oranges thoroughly. This step is crucial because it removes any dirt or residues. After all, you want your juice to be as clean and fresh as possible!
Cut the Oranges
- Next, cut each blood orange in half. Use a sharp knife for a clean cut. This will make juicing easier and more efficient.
Juice the Oranges
- Now, it’s time to extract the juice! Place one half of the orange in your juicer and press down firmly. If you don’t have a juicer, you can use a fork to twist and squeeze the juice out. Remember, the more pressure you apply, the more juice you’ll get!
Strain the Juice
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the juice through a fine strainer into a glass. This step helps remove any pulp. However, if you enjoy a bit of pulp, feel free to skip this!
Sweeten to Taste
- Taste your freshly squeezed blood orange juice. If it’s a bit tart for your liking, add a touch of sweetener. Stir well to combine. This is your chance to customize the flavor!
Serve Immediately
- Finally, pour your vibrant blood orange juice into a glass. If you like it chilled, add a few ice cubes. Enjoy the refreshing taste right away for the best experience!
