Expert Tips
- For the best flavor, go for a ripe pineapple. Look for one with a sweet aroma and a slightly soft feel when you gently press the skin.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more if needed.
- Aim for a smooth consistency by blending the ingredients thoroughly.
Variations
- Coconut: Blend fresh pineapple with coconut water instead of regular water for a taste of the tropics.
- Mint: Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the blender along with the pineapple and water.
- Ginger: Grate some fresh ginger into the blender. It adds a nice kick and a hint of spiciness that pairs wonderfully with pineapple.
- Lime: Squeeze the juice of one or two limes into the blender for a tangy twist.
- Strawberry: Blend in some fresh strawberries along with the pineapple for a berry infusion.
Storing & Freezing
Storing: Transfer any remaining pineapple water to an airtight container or pitcher with a lid. Place the container in the refrigerator to chill. The water will stay fresh for about 1 to 2 days.
Freezing: Pour the water into ice cube trays or freezer safe containers, leaving a little room at the top for expansion. Cover the trays or containers and place them in the freezer until the liquid has completely frozen, about 4-6 hours.
Recipe FAQ's
While you can use canned pineapple, it's recommended to use fresh or frozen pineapple for the best flavor.
While a blender yields the smoothest texture, you can still make a simpler version by mashing the chopped pineapple with a fork or using a potato masher. Just mix the mashed pineapple with water and sugar until well combined.
Absolutely! You can turn this into a refreshing cocktail by adding a splash of rum or tequila.
