Ingredients

2 lb carrots (907g) preferably organic, halved or sliced
5-6 cups water (1.18 litres) only use if doing the blender technique
¼ cup almond milk (60ml)(optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (4g)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (0.5g)
1 teaspoon nutmeg (2g)
Coconut condensed milk sweetener to taste

Instructions

Blender version

Peel the carrots then chop them into halves or slices.
Combine the carrots and water in a blender.
Blitz on high speed to breakdown the carrots (until there are no more chunks).
Use a sieve/cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a large bowl/jug/pitcher squeezing by using the back of a spoon or your hands depending if you are using a sieve or cheesecloth to extract all of the liquid.
Discard or save the pulp (see recipe notes).
Sir in nutmeg, cinnamon and condensed milk to taste, if you using any add ins then add them now.
Chill in the refrigerator and serve accordingly.

Juicer version

Peel the carrots then chop them into halves or slices.
Slowly add the carrots, one after the other into the chute (no water is necessary for the juicer method).
Once the juice is made then stir in the nutmeg, cinnamon and vegan condensed milk and any additional add ins, if you want to.

Notes

If you don't care for the raw edge on the carrots, feel free to steam them first (although your drink maybe thicker).
This is the recipe that I use for Homemade Vegan Condensed Milk
Feel free to add any of the adds in towards the end of the recipe.
Remember, you will need a spoon to squeeze/press out the liquid into the sieve.
Be sure to use the freshest or organic carrots, if possible.
Don't through away that pulp! Use it for Carrot Cake or Carrot Pudding.
Any leftover juice and be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Depending on the size of the size of your blender/capacity you may need to do this in batches.
