Description
A bright and cooling drink that blends sweet pineapple and crisp cucumber into a refreshing agua fresca, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1 cucumber, peeled and diced
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Peel and dice the cucumber, and measure the pineapple chunks. If your pineapple is not ready-cut, core and chop it into 2 cups of chunks. Juice one lime and set aside the mint for garnish.
- In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, diced cucumber, and sugar (if using). Blend until smooth and no large pieces remain.
- Add the 4 cups of water and the lime juice to the blender. Blend again on low until everything is fully combined and evenly mixed.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher if you prefer a smooth drink. Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Notes
Store in a sealed pitcher or airtight bottle in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.
