Here’s a simple recipe for making carrot and orange juice:

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized carrots
• 2 large oranges
• 1/2 inch of fresh ginger (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or sweetener (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Water (optional, for thinning the juice)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Carrots:

   • Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into smaller pieces to make blending or juicing easier.

2. Prep the Oranges:

   • Peel the oranges and remove any seeds. You can cut them into halves or quarters to make juicing easier.

3. Optional Ginger:

   • If you want a zesty kick, peel a small piece of fresh ginger and slice it into smaller pieces.

4. Juicing:

   • If using a juicer: Place the carrots, oranges, and ginger (if using) into your juicer and extract the juice.
   • If using a blender: Add the carrots, oranges, and ginger (if using) to the blender. Blend until smooth. You can add a little water to help the blending process if needed. Then strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp, or serve it as a smoothie.

5. Sweeten and Serve:

   • Taste the juice and, if desired, add honey or another sweetener. Stir to combine.
   • Serve the juice chilled by adding ice cubes or refrigerating before serving.
