Homemade Carrot and Orange Juice
This Fresh Carrot and Orange Juice is a sweet and zesty blend of carrots, oranges, ginger, and lemon. A vibrant, refreshing drink perfect for any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 10 carrots
- 8 oranges
- 2 pieces of ginger (1½ inches each)
- 1 lemon
- Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash all the ingredients thoroughly. Remove the tops and tails from the carrots, leaving the peel intact (just scrub them clean).
- Peel the oranges, ensuring the pith (the white, stringy layer) is removed to avoid bitterness, and cut them into quarters. Use a teaspoon to peel the ginger, then slice it into chunks. Finally, slice the lemon in half and juice it, setting the juice aside for later.
- Add the carrots, orange quarters, and ginger pieces to your juicer, working in small batches for efficient juicing. Once everything has been juiced, pour the mixture into a large jug. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to balance the flavors.
- For a smoother juice, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp. If you prefer some texture, you can add a small amount of the pulp back into the juice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness and serve.
- Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy its bold, refreshing flavors. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a revitalizing midday drink!
