Carrot Ginger Juice

Ingredients

• 6 large carrots, scrubbed
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
• 1 orange, peeled
• 1/2 lemon, peeled

Method

1. 1

   Peel the ginger by scraping a spoon firmly along its skin instead of using a vegetable peeler — a spoon's rounded edge follows the knobby shape of ginger and removes just the thin, papery skin, while a sharp peeler tends to gouge away and waste a good amount of the flavorful flesh just beneath it.

2. 2

   Feed the carrots, peeled ginger, orange, and lemon through a juicer.

3. 3

   Stir the finished juice to combine, since the natural sediment settles quickly.

4. 4

   Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a smoother texture is preferred.

5. 5

   Serve immediately over ice.
