Pineapple Juice
A bright, sweet, and tangy tropical beverage, Pineapple Juice is made from fresh pineapples, offering a refreshing and naturally vibrant drink packed with exotic flavor.
Prepare pineapple chunks
Ensure you have 1.5 cups (250g) of fresh pineapple chunks, peeled and cored. Cut them into pieces small enough to fit your juicer or blender.
💡 Tips:
- •Choose a ripe pineapple for the sweetest juice. A ripe pineapple will smell sweet at the base and yield slightly to pressure.
Juice or blend pineapple
If using a juicer: Feed the pineapple chunks through your juicer and collect the juice in a glass. If using a blender: Combine pineapple chunks with 0.25 cup (60 ml) cold water in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Then, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the juice. Discard the pulp.
💡 Tips:
- •For a pulp-free juice, straining after blending is crucial. Adjust water amount if blending to achieve desired consistency.
Chill and serve
Pour the freshly extracted pineapple juice into a glass. If desired, add 1 serving of ice. Garnish with 1 lime wedge, if using. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Fresh pineapple juice is best consumed immediately. Adding a lime wedge can enhance the tropical flavor.
- 💡For an extra zing, add a tiny piece of fresh ginger to the juicer/blender.
- 💡Combine with sparkling water for a refreshing pineapple spritzer.
- 💡A pinch of salt can surprisingly enhance the sweetness of the pineapple juice.
- 💡You can blend a few mint leaves with the pineapple for a refreshing herbal note.
