With this simple pineapple lemonade recipe, you'll feel like you're walking on sunshine. This sweet-and-tart tropical drink is a cooling summer sip when you need it.
6-7 fresh lemons 4 cups fresh pineapple juice 1 cup near-boiling water 1 cup granulated sugar 4 cups cold water Ice, as needed Pineapple slices, for garnish
Chop the lemons and squeeze out the lemon juice in a tall glass. Next, strain to remove seeds and pulp.
Pour the lemon juice into a pitcher or a juice jug.
Stir in the pineapple juice. Make sure it is freshly squeezed. You can use a cold-press juicer for maximum outcome.
Make a sugar syrup if you want. Add 4 cups of water to a saucepan on medium heat and stir in the sugar.
Remove the sugar syrup once transparent. Let it cool slightly. Add to the pitcher.
Pour cold water little by little, stirring in between. Serve over ice and garnish with pineapple slices if desired.
