- Prepare the Carrots: Start by washing and peeling the carrots. Chop them into manageable chunks that will easily blend.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped carrots, water, and grated ginger. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. If your blender struggles with the fibrous texture of the carrots, you can add a bit more water to help it along.
- Strain the Juice: Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the carrot mixture into a large bowl. Press down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp or save it for other recipes like carrot muffins or soup.
- Add Citrus Flavors: Stir in the freshly squeezed orange and lime juices. These not only add a wonderful zest to the juice but also naturally enhance the sweetness of the carrots.
- Enhance the Flavor: If desired, add a dash of ground nutmeg or cinnamon. This step is optional but can give your carrot juice a subtle spice that complements the freshness of the other ingredients.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the juice until it’s chilled. Serve over ice cubes in tall glasses for a refreshing drink.
