Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 50 g fresh turmeric scrubbed, sliced into thin coins
  • 20 g fresh ginger about a thumb-sized piece, scrubbed and thinly sliced
  • 250 g carrots scrubbed, topped and tailed, cut into sticks
  • 2 oranges peeled, pips removed, cut into segments
  • ½ lemon peeled, pips removed
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper optional, for flavour

Equipment

  • Sana 727 or Sana 707 slow juicer, fine screen fitted
  • Chopping board and knife
  • Vegetable brush
  • Gloves (optional, for the turmeric)

Method
 

  1. Scrub the turmeric, ginger and carrots. Slice the turmeric and ginger into coins 2 to 3 mm thick and cut the carrots into sticks.
  2. Peel the oranges and lemon, cut them into pieces and remove the pips.
  3. Fit the fine screen. On the Sana 727, set the speed to 40 rpm. The Sana 707 runs at one low speed.
  4. Start with a carrot stick, then feed a few slices of turmeric or ginger, followed by a piece of orange. Repeat, letting each handful clear before adding the next.
  5. Finish with carrot and orange to push the last of the root juice through.
  6. Stir in the black pepper if using, pour into small glasses and rinse the juicer straight away to limit staining.

Notes

Makes about 350 ml. Turmeric stains, so wipe any spills from counters at once and keep a separate ice cube tray if you freeze it.
