Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 lb carrot, sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagnol
1 cup water (or enough to cover by one inch)
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 /. to 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, organic carrots. Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises.
Wash and peel the carrots: Before juicing, wash the carrots thoroughly and peel them if desired. Peeling the carrots is not necessary, but it will result in a smoother juice.
Use a variety of citrus fruits: For a more complex flavor, use a variety of citrus fruits in your juice. Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes are all good choices.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of sweetness in your juice will depend on the type of citrus fruits you use and how much sweetener you add. If you prefer a sweeter juice, add some honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
Enjoy your juice fresh: Citrus carrot juice is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Citrus carrot juice is a delicious and refreshing way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
