Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ pineapple cut into large chunks
  • ½ cucumber cut into large chunks
  • ¼ cup sugar or to taste
  • 6 cups water divided
  • ice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare ingredients. Peel and chop half of a pineapple into large chunks. Feel free to use the core or leave it out if you’d like. Chop cucumber into large chunks. I leave on the skin.
  • Blend. Working in batches, process the pineapple and cucumber chunks, sugar, and 4 cups water on medium setting for 60 seconds.
  • Strain and mix. Strain the pineapple water mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove any pulp. Stir in remaining 2 cups of water.
  • Serve and enjoy. Serve over plenty of ice and enjoy chilled.

A Note from Lola

RECIPE VARIATIONS

  • Feel free to use your favorite sweetener or skip the sugar altogether. I like to use pure cane sugar, simple syrup, agave, or dates to sweeten my aguas frescas.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These power greens are not detectable because of the sweet pineapple.
