HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE JUICE

INGREDIENTS:

Pineapple - 4 Cups
Sugar/Honey - 2 Tablespoons
Water - 1/2 Cup
Ice Cubes

Add-ons (If preferred): 

Lime Juice - 1/2 Tablespoon 
Mint Leaves - Few

METHOD:

• Using a knife, slice off the top & bottom part of the Pineapple, and cut off the outer layer. 
• Slice the Pineapple and cut it into chunks.
• Add Pineapple Chunks along with some Water into a blender.
• Blend until smooth. 
• Pour the Pineapple Juice through a strainer.
• The pulp would be thick, so it will take some time for the juice to be strained. 
• To speed up the process, press the pulp with a spoon/spatula.
• I use my juicer jar (which came along with my blender) for the purpose, which has a strainer within which makes the process easier.
• Collect the strained Pineapple Juice in a bowl.
• Add Honey/Sugar to sweeten up the Pineapple Juice.
• Pour it into a tall glass and serve the Pineapple Juice chilled or at room temperature.
• Can add a few teaspoons of Lemon Juice to add zing to the Pineapple Juice.
• Muddle a few Mint Leaves and pour chilled juice over it for a mint flavoured Pineapple Juice.

NOTES: 

• I have used 1 Medium Sized Fruit in this recipe and I got 3 Tall glasses of Pineapple Juice out of it. 
• Adding Sweeteners to the drink is purely optional.
• Adding Lemon Juice or Mint Leaves to the juice can give you an extra note of taste and flavour to Pineapple Juice. But it is purely optional.  
• Freshly extracted Pineapple Juice (without added sweeteners) can be stored in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.
