Preparing Carrot and Orange Juice
Making Carrot and Orange Juice is delightfully straightforward. You’ll begin by gathering your ingredients and equipment—specifically, a trusty blender. The process involves blending fresh carrots and oranges into a smooth concoction, with an optional touch of honey for extra sweetness. For those who prefer a lighter drink, straining the juice to remove the pulp can make all the difference.
What You’ll Need
To create this refreshing juice, make sure you have the following ingredients:
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 large oranges, peeled and segmented
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes, to taste
Feel free to swap the honey for a different sweetener if you’re looking for alternatives, such as agave syrup or stevia, both of which can work wonderfully.
