Receta de Agua Fresca de Piña Mexicana

Ingredientes

• 1 lb fresh pineapple in chunks (approx 500 gr)
• 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
• 4 cups of cold water
• Ice cubes

Preparación

1. 1

   Place the pineapple chunks, sugar, and 2 cups of water in the blender. Blend until all the ingredients are combined.

2. 2

   Tip: The amount of sugar depends on your personal preference and the natural sugars in the pineapple you bought. I recommend trying the fruit before blending it and then adding sugar or the sweetener of your choice little by little

3. 3

   Pour it into the pitcher, passing it through a fine mesh strainer. At some point, you will need to use a spoon or your fingers to press the juice from the bagaso, all that fiber trapped by the strainer. For me the best way to do this is by using a couple of fingers.

4. 4

   But If you prefer your agua fresca with pulp, skip this step.

5. 5

   Pour the other two glasses of water into the blender, stir a little, and pour them into the pitcher. Adjust for sweetness.

6. 6

   Pour over ice cubes if you are serving it immediately. But always give it a stir before pouring.

7. 7

   Garnish with pineapple wedges and fresh mint leaves or lime slices and enjoy!
