RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Pineapple Juice

• 2 medium-sized fresh pineapple
• 2 lemons or lime (optional)
• 1.5 cups water
• 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
• Salt, to taste (optional), I used black salt
• Ice cubes (for serving)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» For making Pineapple Juice

1. To cut, lay the pineapple on its side on a wooden chopping board. Using a sharp chef?s knife, trim off the top and bottom of the pineapple.
2. Then place the pineapple upright and then divide it into portions. Now remove the skin (thick outer layer) from top to bottom.
3. Slice the pineapple or chop it into chunks. Once done, keep them aside.
4. Now, roll the lemon on the chopping board. This softens the lemon. Also, peel off the skin and roughly chop them.
5. Add pineapple slices and lemon to a fruit juicer and juice.
6. Transfer pineapple juice to a pitcher. Also, add 1.5 cups of water to dilute and adjust the thickness of the juice. Adding water is optional though.
7. Now add sugar and black salt to the pitcher and stir until sugar dissolves completely. You can also use simple syrup instead of sugar.
8. Add ice cubes to serving glasses. Pour pineapple juice into glasses and garnish with lemon pineapple slices or mint leaves. Stir and enjoy chilled.

» How to make pineapple juice in a blender

1. Add pineapple chunks to a food processor or blender along with lemon pieces, water, and sugar.
2. Blend until smooth and frothy. There should not be any chunks of fruit in the mix.
3. Be sure to press out all the juice from the cheesecloth.
4. Now, strain the freshly made pineapple juice using a fine-mesh strainer cheesecloth. Make sure to press out all the juice. Discard the fibrous pulp.
5. Add salt to taste and mix well to combine. At this point, you can adjust the consistency of juice by adding more water.
6. Serve pineapple juice immediately over ice cubes.

RECIPE NOTES

1. I have added some water and ice cubes to adjust the consistency and to make the juice chilled. However, if you don't want to dilute the juice then you can omit the water and ice cubes.
2. Freshly sliced pineapple is the best for making pineapple juice, however, you can also use pre-cut pineapples to save some time.
3. Feel free to add your favorite alcohol to make some adult pineapple cocktails.
4. You can garnish pineapple juice with some fresh herbs, lemon, lime, or pineapple slices.
5. I have added some sugar to this pineapple juice recipe, but you can also add simple syrup. If you are adding simple syrup then reduce the amount of water.
