Ingredients

  • Light simple syrup 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water
  • 2 ripe pineapples cubed
  • 8 cups water

Instructions

Simple Syrup:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-heat just long enough for the sugar to melt. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down before using.
Agua de Piña:
  1. Place pineapple cubes into a blender and blend. Add 2 cups of water to get blender going. You will have to do this in two batches. Run through a sieve to remove pulp and discard. Put juice into a pitcher and add the remaining water.
  2. Add 1 cup of simple syrup or as much as you like depending on the sweetness of your pineapple and to your liking.
  3. Serve over ice.

Notes

  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
  • If fresh pineapple isn't available, or you don't want to go to the trouble of peeling and cubing it, frozen pineapple is a wonderful alternative. Just be sure to allow the fruit to mostly defrost before blending, or you'll end up with more of a pineapple smoothie than an agua fresca!
