Ingredients:

  • Pineapple skins
  •  Water
  •  Sugar (optional

Instructions:

1. Take the pineapple skins, including the core, and rinse them thoroughly.

2. Cut the skins into smaller pieces for easier handling.

3. Place the pineapple skins in a large pot and cover them with water.

4. Bring the water to a boil and let the skins simmer for about 30 minutes to extract the flavor.

5. Remove the pot from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

6. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

7. Taste the juice and add sugar if desired, stirring until it dissolves completely.

8. Refrigerate the pineapple juice for a refreshing drink or use it as a base for cocktails, smoothies, or even as a marinade for meats.
