Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh pineapple in chunks approx 500 gr
  • ¼ cup granulated cane sugar
  • 4 cups of cold water
  • Ice cubes

Utensilios

  • A blender, if you have a high-powered blender even better.
  • A strainer
  • A pitcher.

Instructions

  • Place the pineapple chunks, sugar, and 2 cups of water in the blender. Blend until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Tip: The amount of sugar depends on your personal preference and the natural sugars in the pineapple you bought. I recommend trying the fruit before blending it and then adding sugar or the sweetener of your choice little by little
  • Pour it into the pitcher, passing it through a fine mesh strainer. At some point, you will need to use a spoon or your fingers to press the juice from the bagaso, all that fiber trapped by the strainer. For me the best way to do this is by using a couple of fingers.
  • But If you prefer your agua fresca with pulp, skip this step.
  • Pour the other two glasses of water into the blender, stir a little, and pour them into the pitcher. Adjust for sweetness.
  • Pour over ice cubes if you are serving it immediately. But always give it a stir before pouring.
  • Garnish with pineapple wedges and fresh mint leaves or lime slices and enjoy!
