Ingredients:
- Skin from 1 medium pineapple (washed thoroughly)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3-4 cloves
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (sliced)
- 4 cups of water
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey or to taste (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pineapple Skin: After peeling the pineapple, rinse the skin thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Boil the Ingredients: In a large pot, add the pineapple skin, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sliced ginger. Pour in the water.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes. This will allow the flavors to infuse.
- Strain the Juice: Once the liquid has a rich, golden color, remove the pot from the heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solids, leaving you with the spiced juice.
- Sweeten and Cool: If desired, stir in honey while the juice is still warm to help it dissolve. Allow the juice to cool to room temperature.
- Add Lime Juice: Once cooled, stir in the lime juice for a refreshing tang.
- Serve: Pour the juice into a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice for an extra refreshing drink.
Enjoy:
This spiced pineapple skin juice is a deliciously refreshing drink, packed with flavor and a great way to use every part of the pineapple!
