Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Apple (preferably Fuji or Gala)
- 3 medium Carrot
- 1 inch Fresh Ginger
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 4 pieces Ice Cubes
Instructions
Rinse the apples and carrots thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Peel the carrots and the ginger. Peeling the apples is optional, but it is recommended to keep the peel for added nutrients if using organic apples.
Core the apples and chop them into quarters for easier blending. Chop the carrots into smaller pieces as well.
In a high-powered blender or a juicer, add the apple pieces, carrot pieces, and fresh ginger.
Pour in 1 cup of water to help with blending. Blend the mixture until smooth if using a blender (you can skip this step if using a juicer).
Strain the juice using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to press the mixture down to extract as much liquid as possible. If using a juicer, this step is not necessary.
Pour the strained juice into a pitcher or serving glasses. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a tangy touch.
Taste the juice. If you'd like it sweeter, add 1 teaspoon of honey and stir until dissolved.
Serve immediately over ice cubes for a chilled and refreshing drink. Optionally, garnish with a thin slice of apple or a sprig of mint.
