Sparkling Minty Pineapple Lemonade: The Perfect End-of-Summer

Introducing: Sparkling Minty Pineapple Lemonade

Hello, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my latest creation: Sparkling Minty Pineapple Lemonade. As we near the end of summer, I wanted to make a refreshing beverage that captures the essence of the season with a twist. This drink is perfect for those hot days when you need a cool, invigorating pick-me-up. So, let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• fresh pineapple (250g)
• fresh mint leaves (15g)
• lemons (2)
• sugar (100g)
• sparkling water (500ml)

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• citrus juicer
• mesh strainer
• pitcher

To start, peel and chop the fresh pineapple into chunks, removing the core. Place the pineapple chunks in a blender. Next, juice the lemons using a citrus juicer, ensuring no seeds fall into the juice. Add the lemon juice to the blender with the pineapples. Then, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar to the blender as well.

Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any pulp or mint leaves. Discard any solids left in the strainer.

Once strained, slowly pour the sparkling water into the pitcher, stirring gently to mix everything together. The bubbles from the sparkling water will give the lemonade a light and effervescent touch.

Serve the Sparkling Minty Pineapple Lemonade chilled over ice for a truly refreshing experience. The minty aroma combined with the sweetness of the pineapple and tartness of the lemon is a delightful combination that will tantalize your taste buds.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 865g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 216g, and has approximately 100 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to freeze some of the lemonade mixture into ice cubes. These lemonade ice cubes can be added to your glass of Sparkling Minty Pineapple Lemonade to keep it chilled without diluting the flavors.

I encourage you to give this recipe a try and feel free to make it your own by adjusting the sweetness or adding more mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness. Cheers to a delicious and refreshing summer beverage!
