Tropical Twist: Pineapple Mint Lemonade for Summer Refreshment

Refreshing Pineapple Mint Lemonade

Today, I am excited to share a bright and refreshing homemade beverage perfect for sunny days or hosting a summer gathering. This pineapple mint lemonade is a delightful twist on a classic lemonade, combining tropical flavors with a hint of mint for a unique and flavorful drink.

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh pineapple chunks
• 10g fresh mint leaves
• 100ml lemon juice
• 50g sugar
• 500ml water
• 100g ice cubes

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• strainer
• pitcher

Start by blending the fresh pineapple chunks, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and water in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any pulp, then transfer the liquid to a pitcher. Add the ice cubes and stir well to chill the lemonade.

This pineapple mint lemonade is best served over ice in tall glasses, garnished with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color. The combination of sweet pineapple, zesty lemon, and cool mint creates a perfectly balanced and refreshing drink that will brighten any day.

This recipe yields approximately 800g of pineapple mint lemonade, enough for about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g, with an approximate calorie count of 80 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to freeze some of the pineapple and mint leaves before blending them. This will help keep the lemonade extra cold without watering it down with extra ice cubes.

I encourage you to give this pineapple mint lemonade a try and experiment with different fruit and herb combinations to make it your own. Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful beverage with friends and family, and cheers to bright, sunny days ahead!
