Black Pepper Free Fresh Orange Juice
Freshly squeezed orange juice is one of those simple pleasures that tastes wildly better than anything poured from a carton. Store-bought options can sometimes include additives or flavorings that make them a gamble for anyone avoiding certain spices, but this version is completely in your control from start to finish. All you need are ripe navel or Valencia oranges and a citrus juicer — that's essentially it. A tiny pinch of salt is optional but surprisingly effective at brightening the natural sweetness of the fruit. You can strain it smooth or leave it gloriously pulpy depending on your mood. It comes together in just a few minutes and tastes like pure sunshine in a glass.

Pour the juice through a fine-mesh strainer into glasses to remove seeds and excess pulp, or skip the strainer if you prefer pulpy juice. Add a pinch of salt, if using, and stir briefly. Serve immediately.
