Orange and carrot are familiar, but cardamom gives the combination a new, gently floral shape. Lime adds enough acidity to make this sunny juice feel crisp rather than flat.
Ingredients
- 4 oranges, peeled
- 3 medium carrots, scrubbed
- Juice of ½ lime
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ cup ice
Method
- 1. Juice the oranges and carrots, alternating them to keep the juicer moving smoothly.
- 2. Stir in lime juice and cardamom.
- 3. Pour over ice and serve immediately.

- A pinch of cinnamon can replace cardamom.

Good to know
Add the cardamom after juicing so it disperses evenly instead of clinging to the juicer screen.
Questions, answered.
Can I use bottled orange juice?
You can, but fresh oranges give the juice a brighter aroma. Use 1½ cups juice if substituting.
How much cardamom is enough?
Start with ⅛ teaspoon; cardamom is fragrant and should sit behind the citrus.
