As the sun climbs higher and the days stretch out, nothing quite compares to the refreshing zest of a homemade pineapple lemonade. Perfect for sipping on your porch or while lounging in your garden, this sugar-free delight is both delicious and easy to whip up. Let’s get into how you can create this sunny beverage in just a few simple steps.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
Juice of 4 large lemons
4 cups cold water
A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Ice cubes
Sweetener of choice (like stevia or erythritol), to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Pineapple: Start by blending the fresh pineapple chunks until smooth. Pineapple not only gives a tropical twist but also naturally sweetens our lemonade, so there’s no need for added sugar.
Juice the Lemons: Next, squeeze the juice from the lemons. Lemon juice is fantastic for its vibrant tang and also packs a punch of vitamin C.
Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple puree and lemon juice. Stir in cold water to dilute and balance the flavors. This step is all about tweaking to your taste, so feel free to adjust the proportions of lemon juice and water based on how tart or mild you prefer your lemonade.
