How to drink so that it is not harmful

To begin with, you should remember that such freshly squeezed juice retains its beneficial properties for a very short time. This is why it is very important to drink it immediately after preparation. The biggest mistake is to prepare a drink from evening to morning, because it makes no sense to store it even in the refrigerator. It is best to squeeze the juice just before drinking.

If the drink still needs to be stored for a long time, then the best option would be to freeze it. In this form, it will retain all its useful vitamin composition unchanged.

Also, a very important rule is to combine the drink with dishes containing animal or vegetable fats. This is necessary so that all its beneficial properties are perfectly assimilated in the body. For example, you can add a little sour cream or yogurt directly to the cup with the drink.

But flour and starchy dishes with carrot juice should not be combined.

To improve the taste of the drink, it is worth adding juice from other vegetables or fruits to it. For example, very interesting combinations are obtained from carrots and apples, carrots and oranges, carrots and beets, as well as carrots and pumpkins.

Juice whipped with a mixer

You can also get carrot juice using a mixer. Not everyone knows the recipe, but it turns out to be very tasty. For its preparation, you need to select only ripe and brightly colored fruits. They must be thoroughly washed, cleaned and grated with large holes. A little water should be added to the resulting mass and put on a small fire. The carrots should languish until they become soft.

The mixture must be passed through a juicer, and then beat with a mixer. After adding 10% sugar syrup in a 1: 1 ratio, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring all the time. After 5 minutes, you need to pour the juice into prepared jars and immediately roll up the lids. After the container has cooled, it should be removed to a dark place.

Subtleties of technology

Depending on the chosen method of preparation, there are certain subtleties, performing which they get a tasty and healthy drink for the winter, which will be stored for a long time.

Using a juicer

Prepared carrots (1 kg) are crushed and sent to a juicer. The resulting liquid is poured into a glass container and left to settle for about 40 minutes. For a variety of taste, add citrus zest. At the end of the time, strain through cheesecloth folded in several layers.

To slightly reduce the concentrate of the carrot drink, add a little water to it. Then it is poured into a cooking container. Put on low heat and bring to a boil. Continue simmering on the fire for 8 minutes.

The workpiece should not be allowed to boil strongly, the temperature should be no more than 80 ⁰C.

Then add sugar - about 100 g, not all at once, but in parts. After its dissolution, pour 2 g of citric acid into the mixture.

Pour the finished drink into dry sterilized jars and put in a container for sterilization, do not cover with lids. Sterilize for 25 minutes. Roll up and wrap until it cools completely.

Through a meat grinder

In order to prepare carrot juice using a regular meat grinder, you will have to work a little. To begin with, the roots are twisted, then, using gauze, decant the liquid.

Further cooking technology does not differ from cooking with a juicer. If there is a desire to make juice with pulp, it is better not to use a meat grinder for this purpose. The consistency is very coarse.

In a juicer

For housewives who have this device at their disposal, the process of preparing a drink is greatly simplified. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and place them in the raw materials section.

Pour warm water into the juicer container, block the hose with a clamp. Put on fire. Cooking time from 30 to 70 minutes.

Distribute hot juice in jars, roll up and wrap until it cools down at room temperature.

Common carrot juice recipe

It is easy to prepare a vitamin drink for the winter under home cooking conditions, you just need to follow the instructions exactly.

You will need any amount of carrots available, sugar is added at the rate of 1 liter of liquid: 20-60 g of sand.

Use any available method to make juice from carrots. Pour into a container, put on low heat. Bring to a boil and pour in the sugar, dissolve the grains and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Pour the ready-made juice into jars, sterilize for 25-30 minutes, if the jars are liter. Then roll up and store.

Harvesting a carrot drink is not difficult at all, and there will be a lot of benefits from it in winter.

Recipe without sterilization

You will need 1 liter of water, 500 g of root vegetables, 100 g of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon. tablespoons of citric acid.

The drink is prepared in this way: the carrots are chopped, poured with water and put on fire. Cook for 40 minutes. Using an immersion blender, grind the mass together with water. Then add citric acid and put on fire. If the mixture is too thick, add water.

Carrot and apple juice

Another popular preparation is apple and carrot juice.

• 3 kg of apples;
• 2 kg of carrots;
• 200 gr. Sahara.

Wash the apples, cut them into quarters and cut the seed pods. We pass apples through a juicer. Pour the juice into a saucepan and leave to infuse. A dense layer of foam will rise to the surface of the liquid. Remove the foam with a spoon and transfer to another container. We filter the juice through 4-5 layers of gauze, squeeze out the sediment well. The result of the work should be a slightly cloudy juice without pulp in the amount of 1.5-1.7 liters.

Advice! The amount of sugar depends on how sweet your apples and carrots are. You may need to increase or decrease the amount. If necessary, you can add a little lemon juice or acid to the juice.

We peel the carrots, also pass them through a juicer. Strain the finished carrot juice through a sieve to obtain an almost transparent juice. Carrot juice from the specified amount of vegetables will be about a liter.

Mix both types of juice in a saucepan, add sugar to taste. We put on fire and bring it almost to a boil, but do not let it boil. Pour into sterilized jars and seal with boiled lids. Cool down under a fur coat.

Carrot-peach juice for the winter

This juice does not require added sugar, as the peach itself provides enough sweetness. The proportions of juice can be changed to taste, but we give an average version, where the juice will be half peach and half carrot.

Ingredients:

• Peaches - 1 kg.
• Carrots - 1.5 kg.
• Citric acid - 1 tsp

Cooking process:

1. Use ripe juicy peaches and juicy young carrots. Wash the peaches and carrots thoroughly, remove the skin from the carrots. Disassemble the peaches in half and remove the seeds. Wash the jars and lids, then sterilize them well in the oven.
2. Then send the ingredients to a blender or food processor to grind the juice components to a fine fraction. You can practically make them puree. Pour this puree into a juicer and squeeze the juice, you can skip the cake again.
3. Send juice from a juicer to a saucepan, add citric acid and turn on the heat, small. The juice should warm up well, without boiling, for five minutes. By this time, the banks should just be sterilized.
4. Pour the juice into jars, cover and return back to the oven at about 100 degrees for 15-20 minutes for pasteurization.
5. After the allotted time, remove the cans from the oven and quickly roll them up, then turn them upside down and cover with a blanket for a day. After a day, put the juice for storage in the cellar or pantry.

Canning methods

At home, you can prepare juice in two ways:

• Hot filling. In this case, you need to heat the juice and boil it over low heat. After it is poured into the cans, you must immediately roll them up. The container must be turned over and left in this position and wait until it cools down.
• Pasteurization.Harvesting carrot juice in this way involves heating it almost to a boil. After that, you need to pour the juice into jars and close the same lids. They are pasteurized for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 90 ° C. When the procedure is over, the covers must be rolled up tightly.

Preparing carrots

To make the juice tasty and healthy, you need to choose the right vegetables. They must be fresh, ripe, healthy and of good quality. If there are wormholes or cracks, then these carrots are not suitable for juice. Overripe fruits are also not suitable for making carrot juice. Cooking it is not a particularly difficult process, but it requires knowledge of the intricacies.

The fruits must be thoroughly washed and all dirt removed. For this, you can use both running water and a large container of water. It is necessary to remove all the leaves and cut off the hard part.

Juicing in a juicer

It's easy to make carrot juice in a juicer. Before cooking, rinse the juicer in hot water and boil the hose.

Water is poured into the base of the juicer and heated to a boil. When all the vegetables are loaded, cover the juicer with a lid and continue heating. Close the rubber hose with a clamp. It is important to ensure that the water does not boil away.

The whole process takes anywhere from half an hour to 70 minutes. When the time is up, the hot juice must be drained into pre-prepared jars.

Ways of fortification

It must be remembered that the prepared drink is very rich in vitamins, you do not need to drink much of it. That is why I mix it most often with purchased or homemade apple juice, it tastes better. And also be sure for starch mask I leave, remember, we did such things with you.

If it is necessary to leave it for cosmetic purposes, we pour the "concentrated usefulness" into a separate container. And for ingestion, I personally dilute the finished product, but you don't have to.

I add 100 ml of apple juice to each serving. You can sweeten it with sugar, but I don't - homemade carrots are very sweet. The last time I made a drink with children's apple-peach juice, you can clearly see this in the main photo.
