Ingredients

  • 4 large oranges, peeled and segmented

  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled

  • 1/2 cup cold water (optional, for blending or thinning)

  • Ice cubes (optional)

  • A squeeze of lemon or lime juice (optional, for added tang)


Instructions

  1. Prep Your Produce
    Wash and peel the carrots and ginger. Peel and segment the oranges to ensure easy juicing.

  2. Juicing Method

    • Using a Juicer: Feed the oranges, carrots, and ginger into your juicer. Collect the juice and stir well.

    • Using a Blender: Add the oranges, carrots, ginger, and water to your blender. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a silky texture.

  3. Adjust Flavor
    Taste the juice and add a squeeze of lemon or lime if you’d like more acidity. You can also stir in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.

  4. Serve
    Pour into a glass over ice for a chilled treat, or enjoy it straight up.


Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serving Suggestions: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and maximum nutrient retention. Garnish with a slice of orange or a sprig of mint if you're feeling fancy.

  • Storage: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Shake well before serving, as natural separation may occur.
