Gluten Free Fresh Orange Juice
Few things beat a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice made entirely from scratch — no cartons, no concentrates, just pure citrus. Navel and Valencia oranges both bring a naturally sweet, bright flavor that store-bought versions simply can't replicate. A fine-mesh strainer keeps things smooth and seed-free, though you can skip it entirely if you love a pulpy, full-bodied glass. That optional pinch of salt is a small but clever touch that subtly rounds out the sweetness and makes the citrus flavor pop even more. Since this is made from whole fruit and nothing else, it's naturally free from gluten without any substitutions or label-reading required — just oranges doing their thing. It comes together in minutes and tastes like something you'd pay way too much for at a brunch spot.

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.
