Nothing complements your breakfast quite like a cup of refreshing orange juice, but if you’re buying it at the store—it’s time to stop. Homemade orange juice is a healthier and more nutritious alternative because it’s not packed with sugar. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you make it on your own.
Juicy Oranges
You can’t make this delicious beverage without a couple of oranges and the variety you pick makes all the difference. Look for the freshest fruits that you can find and go with Valencia oranges whenever possible because they’re the juiciest variety on the market.
Juicing Method
If you have a blender or juicer at home, using them to make orange juice is a no-brainer. It’s the easiest and quickest method on the market, but it’s not the only one. You don’t have to have any fancy appliances to make homemade orange juice—you can also get the job done with a handheld citrus juicer.
Storing Your Juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice is best consumed right away, but what should you do if you made too much at once? It’s recommended to refrigerate it for up to three days in a glass bottle or any other type of airtight container.
