Notes

Two juiced Valencia oranges will provide a yield of approximately 1 cup. Roll the room-temperature oranges on the counter, applying light pressure, to loosen the juice from within each orange. Try not to break or crack the orange rind while rolling. Cut both oranges in half and place in a press or twist juicer.
