How to Make Orange Juice in Blender
Peel the oranges and remove the pith. Halve the oranges lengthwise. Make a deep cut in the center. (Check video or step by step pictures).
Using the edge of a small knife or a little fork, remove the seeds. Freeze your oranges for an hour if you prefer cold juice.
Add the oranges to a blender jar. Pour some water to cover the oranges partially. If using honey, ginger and herbs, add them too.
Blend until smooth. Optionally place a strainer over a large bowl and pour the blended juice to the strainer.
Using a spoon, pass the juice through the sieve. Serve it immediately.
Using a Juicer
Cut each orange horizontally to 2 halves.
Place the cut orange over the juicer and press down. If using a manual juicer, press and move it to and fro to extract the juice. If using an electric juicer, just press down and hold the orange on the circulating reamer. It does the job of juicing automatically.
Pour the juice to the serving glasses and stir in honey if desired.
Using a Slow Juicer
Peel and remove the white membranes and pith of the oranges.
Turn on the slow juicer and add all of the oranges to the chute. You can also add in the herbs and ginger at his stage. You can also add any other fruit you wish to.
Stir in honey if desired. Serve fresh orange juice immediately.
