Now that you’ve made your juice, how do you ensure it tastes as amazing as it looks? That’s where a few pro tips come in handy.
Pro Tips for the Best Taste and Texture
- Use fresh coconut milk if possible, as it’s more flavorful and free from pasteurization.
- Adjust the thickness by adjusting the water-to-coconut milk ratio.
- Serve immediately or chilled for a crisp and satisfying drink.
- Want a smoother drink? Blend the strained juice again for a silkier texture.
Once it’s ready, you might wonder how to store it or how long it stays fresh. Here’s how.
How to Store Carrot Coconut Milk Juice?
Store the juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for about 24–48 hours. If the coconut layer separates, that’s normal—just shake before drinking. Do not freeze, as it ruins the texture and nutrients. If the juice starts to smell sour or tastes off, it’s time to discard it.
