There is something almost luxurious about a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, especially when you know exactly what went into it. This one calls for just oranges and an optional pinch of salt, which subtly rounds out the natural sweetness and makes the citrus flavor pop in a way that carton juice simply cannot match. The straining step keeps things smooth and seed-free, though you can skip it entirely if you love a pulpy, full-bodied glass. It is naturally free of eggs and every other common allergen, so there is zero label-reading stress here — just pure fruit. Serve it the moment it is made for the brightest, most vibrant flavor possible.

Halve 4 large oranges crosswise. Press each half firmly onto a citrus juicer and twist to extract the juice, working over a measuring cup or bowl until all halves are juiced — you should have about 2 cups of juice.
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.
