Carrot Juice - a delightful harmony

By Za, 






I learnt to make this carrot juice from my mum (may god be pleased with her). It's very simple, straightforward aaaaand healthy! :3 


The are no specific measurements or portions to be followed in this recipe. It's really entirely up to you. You play with the quantity of the ingredients to create your favourite consistency, and you decide how sweet you'd like it to be! 






Zee ingredients:


About 10 medium carrots! properly washed, peeled and finely chopped into (round) slices - as shown in the picture above. 
Sugar: 1 medium class. 
3 tbsp of lemon juice. 
2 pots of yogurt (normal Peach yogurt) .. I repeat, PEACH! ( NO apricot , strawberry or anything else.
2 glasses of water.




Zee Method: 



  1. Put the sliced carrots to steam. 
  2. Once done (I usually insert a fork to check they are proper soft), transfer them into a big bowl (or container) and add the sugar on top. Cover the bowl with a lid or a cloth, and let the sugar melt for a while (3 minutes roughly). 
  3. Add the lemon juice, a glass of water and blend everything. (you could use a hand blender or a speed blender, up to you)   



When you feel the mixture is colder (warmer), add the peach yogurt and bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend more and more and more and .. ok.. just enough so everything is liquified, - add the other glass of water or just enough water to get the consistency you like. (I like it thick, like a milkshake


Bellow are some pictures to illustrate the process: 
Steamed carrots + sugar melting 

+ lemon juice and blend 

+ a glass of water and blend more 

+ Peach yogurt and blend 



This is what some carrots made! a1anda1/2L bottle of juice :3 




Bsahatkom - Enjoy - Bon appetit.
