Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Fresh pineapple
- 150 grams Fresh ginger root
- 60 milliliters Fresh lime juice
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1500 milliliters Water
- (optional, for serving) Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by preparing the pineapple. Peel the skin, remove the core, and chop the flesh into small chunks.
Peel and roughly chop the fresh ginger root into smaller pieces.
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, ginger pieces, and 500 milliliters of water. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to extract the juice, pressing or squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
Stir the granulated sugar into the extracted juice until fully dissolved.
Add the remaining 1000 milliliters of water and the fresh lime juice to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Taste the drink and adjust sweetness with more sugar if needed or water if the flavor is too strong.
Chill the beverage in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving, or serve immediately over ice cubes for a refreshing drink.
