1,5 Kg Carrots.
125ml Waitrose Lemon Juice

Clean, but do not remove skin of carrots. (Or if the carrot look clean already - be lazy)
Chop carrots, remove top and tails.
Boil in plenty of water for 25 minutes.
In a separate pan, boil water - add sugar. Simmer for 5 mins and remove from heat.
Drain carrots - keeping the water and throw away mushy carrots.

Fantastic!
I have to ask though - why not use real tizer?
I made carrot wine once... my mother went through a phase of not being able to sleep - was prescribed all sorts of things to knock her out but none worked... then she discovered my carrot wine that no bugger would drink (not surprisingly). One glass and bang out cold. It had sat in the cupboard for 3 years waing for someone to throw it out. Maybe I should market it!
Good man .. keep up the series, what's next?
