Ingredients:
- 1 medium to large fresh pineapple (or approximately 4 cups of pineapple chunks)
- Water (optional, for dilution)
- Sweetener (optional, such as honey, sugar, or agave nectar)
Optional ingredients for added flavor:
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves or basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and slice off the skin, ensuring to remove any “eyes.” Cut the pineapple into chunks, discarding the core if you prefer. If you prefer a smoother juice, you can also use a pineapple corer to remove the core before cutting the pineapple into chunks.
- Blend the pineapple: Place the pineapple chunks into a blender. If desired, add a small amount of water to help with blending and to adjust the consistency of the juice. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a pulp-free juice, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp.
- Sweeten to taste: Taste the pineapple juice and add sweetener if desired. You can use honey, sugar, agave nectar, or any sweetener of your choice. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your taste preferences.
- Serve: Fill four glasses with ice cubes. Pour the pineapple juice into each glass. Garnish with mint leaves or basil leaves if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve the pineapple juice immediately and enjoy its refreshing taste!
