Equipment
- Blender
- Knife and cutting board
- Peeler
- Measuring cup and spoon
- Fine mesh strainer, nut milk bag, or cheesecloth (optional, for straining)
- Glass or jar for serving
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots washed, peeled, and chopped
- ½ inch piece of fresh ginger peeled
- ½ orange peeled and deseeded or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup cold water add more or less based on desired consistency
- A few fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish, optional
Instructions
Step 1:
- Start by prepping your ingredients. Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks so they’re easier to blend. Peel the ginger and orange (if using), and pick a few fresh mint leaves.
Step 2:
- Place the chopped carrots, ginger, orange (or lemon juice), mint leaves, and cold water into a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or add a bit more water if it’s too thick.
Step 3:
- Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer, nut milk bag, or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp (optional, depending on your texture preference). Pour the fresh carrot juice into a glass, garnish with a mint leaf if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Note: For the best flavor and nutritional value, use organic carrots and fresh ingredients. If you prefer a slightly sweeter juice, you can add a small apple or a teaspoon of honey. Drink immediately after preparing to get the most out of the vitamins and antioxidants.
