Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large oranges (about 1 lb), peeled and quartered
- 3 medium carrots (about 1/2 lb), scrubbed and roughly chopped
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger root (about 0.5 oz), peeled
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
- Orange slices, for garnish (optional)
- Gummy worms, for garnish (optional)
- Pinch of food-grade activated charcoal, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and peel the oranges, then chop into quarters. Scrub the carrots and roughly chop. Peel the ginger using a spoon or vegetable peeler.
- Add oranges, carrots, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water to a high-speed blender. If needed, blend in batches. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Taste the mixture. If too tangy, add 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup. For more ginger heat, blend in another ½-inch piece. Add extra water (¼ cup at a time) for a thinner juice.
- Strain the blended juice through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing gently to extract liquid. Skip this step if you prefer pulp.
- Pour juice into glasses over ice. Garnish with orange slices, gummy worms, or a sprinkle of activated charcoal for a Halloween effect.
- Store leftover juice in the fridge, covered, for up to 48 hours. Stir before serving as natural separation may occur.
Notes
Taste and adjust sweetness or ginger to your preference. For a vegan version, use agave syrup. If you prefer more fiber, skip straining. Prep produce ahead for easy party assembly. Garnish with Halloween-themed items for extra fun. Juice can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge; flavors mellow overnight.
