Ingredients
- 8 medium Carrots
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Optional: grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Optional: sugar (if needed for additional sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and wash the carrots thoroughly. Cut them into medium-sized chunks to make blending easier.
Step 2
In a large pot, add the carrots and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender.
Step 3
Remove the pot from heat and let the cooked carrots cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the cooked carrots and the cooking liquid into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Depending on the size of your blender, this may need to be done in batches.
Step 5
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher. Use a spoon or spatula to help press out as much juice as possible, leaving behind any pulp.
Step 6
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until fully combined. If using grated ginger, add it now for an extra spicy kick.
Step 7
Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness by adding sugar if necessary. Mix again to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 8
Chill the carrot juice in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Step 9
Serve the juice over ice and enjoy this creamy, spiced Jamaican-style carrot juice with your loved ones!
