Pineapple Agua Fresca
Pineapple Agua Fresca is a deliciously simple, tropical drink. Made without sugar, this agua de piña is still refreshingly sweet and amazing during the summer.
Equipment
- Mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 3 lbs pineapple (about 4 cups)
- 4 cups cold water
- 1-2 tablespoon sweetener of choice (see notes)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the pineapple into chunks.
- Pour 4 cups of filtered, cold water into your blender.
- Add the pineapple to the blender.
- Blend for 2 minutes until the pineapple is broken down and you have a smooth liquid.
- Taste your pineapple water and add the sweetener of choice if needed. Begin with a tablespoon or two, mix and taste again to ensure it’s not too sweet.
- If using a high-powered blender, like a Vitamix, there should be no reason to strain the juice. However, other blenders might leave a fibrous pulp behind so use a fine mesh sieve to strain it.
- Pour the drink into a pitcher or bottle and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold or serve immediately over ice.
- Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in a tightly sealed jar or bottle.
Notes
- If the pineapple is ripe enough, it’ll add all the sweetness you need. However, if additional sweetener is desired, you can use your preferred sweetener.
