Finely grate 1 tsp (5 mL) orange zest from 1 orange then squeeze out 1/3 cup (75 mL) juice. Set aside. Cut remaining orange into skinless segments (called supremes).

Tips
To cut a citrus fruit into supremes, cut a thin slice off both ends of fruit to allow it to stand on a flat end. Using a sharp knife, cut down vertically along sides to remove peel and pith in sections. Cut along either side of orange membranes to release the supremes.
