Packed with vitamins and nutrients, this vibrant beverage combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the tangy zest of oranges. Below, you'll find a simple recipe along with some handy tips to help you make the best carrot-orange juice at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by thoroughly washing the carrots under running water to remove any dirt.
- Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler and trim off the tops and ends.
- For the orange, wash it and then peel it. Remove any seeds and as much of the white pith as possible to avoid a bitter taste.
- Chop the carrots into medium-sized chunks to make them easier to juice.
- Segment the orange into smaller pieces.
- If using a juicer:
- Feed the carrot chunks and orange segments into the juicer, alternating between them to ensure a well-mixed juice.
- If using a blender:
- Place the carrot chunks and orange segments into the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or jug to separate the juice from the pulp. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
- Once juiced, pour the carrot-orange juice into glasses.
- Optionally, you can add ice cubes for a chilled drink or a small amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter juice.
- Garnish with a slice of orange on the rim of the glass or a small sprig of mint for an extra touch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and maximum nutrients.
Tips:
- For an extra boost of flavor, add a small piece of ginger root to the juicer or blender.
- If the juice is too thick for your liking, you can dilute it with a little water or add an extra orange.
- Make sure to use fresh produce for the best taste and nutritional value.
- If you have leftover juice, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24-48 hours.
With just two main ingredients and a few simple steps, you can easily prepare a delicious and nutritious carrot-orange juice at home. This vibrant beverage not only tastes fantastic but also brings numerous health benefits. Enjoy it fresh and experiment with additional flavors to find your perfect blend!
