Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Chopped Pineapple
- 1 Cup Water
- ¼ Cup White Granulated Sugar
- Pineapple Wedges optional
Instructions
- Start by pouring all the filtered water into your blender.
- Add the diced juicy pineapple to the blender with the water.
- Incorporate the sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and the pineapple has been fully liquified. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Once blended, serve the agua fresca over ice in glasses.
- Optional: Garnish glasses with pineapple wedges for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- Canned or frozen pineapple (thawed) can work instead of fresh. You can also use the juice for added sweetness.
- Fresh pineapple will offer the best flavor.
- Make sure you use a high-powered blender, or you will find that it might not blend up as it should.
- You can use a little sugar or add the full 1/4 cup. It is up to you how sweet you want your water.
- Feel free to swap the granulated sugar with honey, agave, or a sugar substitute.
- This pineapple water is best made fresh and served right after mixing up.
- Serve plain or add to a glass of ice cubes. I find the ice really helps create more flavor.
