- juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
To Make Juice with a Juicer
- Put carrots, apples, and ginger through the juicer according to manufacturers instructions.
- Add juice of ½ lemon to the carrot juice mixture.
- Pour, enjoy! (and hear your immune system kicking into high gear!)
To Make Juice without a Juicer
- Peel carrots and apples and cut into approx 1 inch pieces.
- Add apples and ½ cup water to a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
- Add carrots, juice of half a lemon and ginger to the blender.(The ginger flavor will be stronger in this version vs. running through a juicer so you may want to start with a smaller amount of ginger and taste the juice , adding more to blend if desired). Blend on high until smooth. You may need to add some additional water (¼-1/2 cup) to the blender to obtain a smooth blend.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl (or measuring cup with spout) and pour contents of blender in strainer. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to press the pulp and help squeeze the juice from the pulp. Allow to sit for a few minutes until juice strains through.
Notes
Store juice in an air-tight container ( like a mason jar) in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
