Step 2: Choose Your Method – Blender or Juicer
Using a Juicer:
- Feed each ingredient (starting with carrots and ginger) into the juicer one by one.
- Collect the juice in a container and stir in the lemon juice and black pepper.
- Add a little water or coconut water to adjust consistency if desired.
- Pour into a glass over ice and enjoy!
Using a Blender:
- Add all ingredients, including lemon juice and water/coconut water, to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag into a bowl or pitcher.
- Discard the pulp or save it for soups or compost.
- Stir in the black pepper and serve chilled.
