Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. organic carrots, peeled + chopped

Instructions

BOIL THE CARROTS:

  • In a large pot, add chopped carrots and whole cloves and fill with water until carrots are fully covered. Bring to a boil and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until carrots are tender. Remove from heat, drain (discard cloves), and let cool completely.

BLEND INGREDIENTS:

  • Next, add all ingredients (including cooled carrots) to a high-powered blender and blend on medium-high speed for about 30-45 SECONDS. NOTE: Do not over-blend; Adjust sweetness as needed.
  • Once done, slowly strain (using a cheesecloth or strainer) juice into a pitcher, squeezing the carrot pulp to ensure that all juice is extracted. NOTE: You may have to repeat this process until all carrot juice has been fully strained by re-pouring juice on top of pulp to extract more juice, if needed.
  • Stir and add in rum (if using) at this point and serve.
  • Sip and Enjoy!

Notes

STORAGE: When properly stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed pitcher or mason jar, carrot juice lasts for up to 1 week, at best. Usually, I like to consume my batch within the first 2-3 days.
SWEETENER: Add additional maple syrup for a sweeter juice, if desired.
