Equipment
- High-Powered Blender optional
- Juicer optional
- Citrus Juicer optional
Ingredients
- 3 fresh grapefruits
- 4 fresh oranges
Instructions
Juice grapefruits and oranges either by hand, with a citrus press, juicer, or blender.
- By blender: remove the peels of oranges and grapefruits first by knife or hand. Next, add grapefruits and oranges to the blender and blend until smooth. If having trouble blending, add ½ cup of filtered water (juice will be less intense in flavor). Strain and enjoy.
- By juicer: remove the peels of oranges and grapefruits first by knife or hand. Next, juice grapefruits at LOW, and then juice oranges at TURBO.
- By citrus press or hand: Cut grapefruits and oranges in half. Juice (in any order). Combine and enjoy.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, or any natural sweetener if needed.
Notes
- When making citrus juice in a juicer or blender, it is best to peel the fruits first.
- Storage directions: Fresh fruit juices are best enjoyed within 24 hours. I prefer to chill my fresh juices for about 30 minutes prior to serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
- Freezing directions: If you won’t consume the juice in the first 3 days, you can freeze the leftovers. The best way to do this is with ice cube trays. Freeze the juice into trays, then transfer to a freezer bag. Store frozen for 2-3 months.
