Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe, juicy fresh oranges
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root
  • 1 cup cold water

Optional Ingredients

  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and segment the fresh oranges to remove seeds and bitter pith. Peel about one inch of fresh ginger root and chop into smaller chunks for easier blending or juicing.
  2. Blend or Juice: If using a juicer, feed the oranges and ginger through for fresh juice. If using a blender, combine orange segments, ginger chunks, and cold water and blend until smooth.
  3. Strain (Optional): Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp for a smooth texture. Skip this step if you prefer your juice with more fiber.
  4. Sweeten and Enhance Citrus: Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness if desired, and squeeze in fresh lemon juice to enhance the citrus flavor. Stir well to combine.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the juice for at least 30 minutes or serve over ice cubes for a cool and revitalizing drink. Garnish with an orange slice or ginger curl if desired.

  • Use fresh, ripe oranges and ginger root for optimal flavor and nutrition.
