Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh carrots
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 2 tablespoons optional rum
- 8 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Peel and wash the carrots thoroughly. Chop them into small chunks for easier blending.
Step 2
Fill a medium-sized pot with 4 cups of water, add the carrots, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the carrots until they are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
Once the carrots are softened, turn off the heat and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
Transfer the cooked carrots and the water they were boiled in to a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 5
Strain the carrot puree through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another recipe.
Step 6
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until well combined. For a more adult twist, add the rum if desired.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your liking by adding more condensed milk or spices.
Step 8
Chill the juice in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately over ice cubes for a refreshing beverage.
Step 9
Pour into glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired, and enjoy your Jamaican Carrot Juice!
