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!
