Refreshing Spiced Pineapple Skin Juice:

 

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:

1. Prepare the Pineapple Skin: After peeling the pineapple, rinse the skin thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides.
2. Boil the Ingredients: In a large pot, add the pineapple skin, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sliced ginger. Pour in the water.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Add Lime Juice: Once cooled, stir in the lime juice for a refreshing tang.
7. Serve: Pour the juice into a pitcher and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice for an extra refreshing drink.

This spiced pineapple skin juice is a deliciously refreshing drink, packed with flavor and a great way to use every part of the pineapple!
