If you can’t imagine starting a day without a glass of orange juice, it’s time to ditch the store-bought version and start making your own. Homemade orange juice tends to be healthier and more nutritious and here are three things you should take into consideration before making it.
Orange Choice
Your orange juice will be as tasty as the type of oranges you use to make it and the fresher they are, the better. It ultimately comes down to personal taste and availability, but Valencia oranges are generally considered the best choice.
Right Method
There are several different ways to juice your oranges and most people use a juicer or blender to get it done. If you don’t have any of these kitchen appliances at home, you can still use a handheld citrus juicer to squeeze some oranges and make delicious and refreshing juice. It might take longer, but it will be worth it.
Proper Storage
Orange juice is best enjoyed right after you squeeze it, but you can easily store it if you made a larger quantity at once. Simply pour it inside a glass bottle, jar, or some other kind of airtight container, and refrigerate it for up to three days.
