Hot Pink Lemonade

3 small, 2 med, or 1 large carrot, tipped and topped
1 apple, cored
½ large cucumber
1 med beet, greens cut off
1 whole lemon, ends cut off, skin on
Makes about 2 cups in a measuring cup or one standard pint glass stolen from Publick House in the days of yore. 
I scrub the outside of all my fruits and vegg with soap or vinegar water.  Cut off parts I don’t want to eat, and then I add to my juicer – I have a Jack Lalane.  I add the densest things firs like the beat, lemon, and carrots, and save watery things like apples and cucumbers for last to wash all the remaining bits of juice into my glass.  I plan to add kale or spinach in the future, which they recommend you wrap around something like a carrot, or it just kind of gets tossed around in the grinder before you can get the juice out.  This concoction has an overwhelmingly strong and sweet flavor of lemon, which I personally love.  The after taste is a little stringent and bitter from the lemon skin.  But all in all the deep magenta color is what charms me every time.  This mix should lower blood pressure, flush toxins, clear excess mucus, feed your major organs like eyes, heart, and lungs, and be overall refreshing.  So far it’s my fave!
