Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized fresh pineapple
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and chop the fruit into small chunks.
Add the pineapple chunks to a blender along with 4 cups of cold water.
Blend on high speed until the pineapple is completely smooth and well pureed.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp, pressing to extract as much juice as possible.
Stir in the granulated sugar and lime juice until the sugar is dissolved.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lime juice, as desired.
Pour the pineapple drink into glasses filled with ice cubes.
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and enjoy immediately.
