- 2 cups fresh pineapple
- ⅓ cup sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, granulated sugar, simple syrup)
- 4 cups water
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves washed thoroughly
Add all ingredients into the blender.
2 cups fresh pineapple, ⅓ cup sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, granulated sugar, simple syrup), 4 cups water, ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
Blend until smooth and no chunks of pineapple are apparent, about 60-seconds.
Strain the pineapple water into a large pitcher or measuring cup. (Traditional agua frescas are served with the pulp, so feel free to omit this step!)
Pour immediately over ice or keep in the fridge for 30-minutes to cool.
Keep in the fridge for 2-3 days maximum.
To strain or not to strain: Traditional agua frescas are served with the pulp. You can choose to strain or not, either will result in a delicious taste, although I recommend straining if you’re unfamiliar with the pulp-y texture.
Using old-ish pineapple chunks: This pineapple water recipe is a great way to use up cubed pineapple about to be out of its prime!
Storage Directions: Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days at most, or the pineapple will begin to ferment and create another popular Mexican beverage called Tepache!
