tools needed
Citrus Press or Reamer: For extracting the juice from the tangerines. It may feel like a workout, but the end result is worth it for that fresh squeezed taste.
Knife: Needed to slice each tangerine in half before juicing. Make sure it's sharp to make the job easier and reduce the risk of accidental injuries.
Glass: To catch the freshly squeezed tangerine juice. A fancy glass may make the juice taste even better - it's all about presentation, right?
Strainer: If you prefer your juice pulp-free, a strainer will help remove any unwanted pulp or seeds before serving. Nobody wants surprise pulp in their juice!
