It is a rather more sophisticated method, but of a formidable efficiency. The preparation is relatively simple: peel and cut a carrot into thin slices. Place the rings in a saucepan over low heat and add a few handfuls of rice. Let simmer a few minutes, until you have a thick mixture. Finally, filter to retrieve only the juice.
