Pineapple Tea Recipes

PINEAPPLE PEEL TEA

Steps:

• It's essential to clean the pineapple skin thoroughly. You can do this by scrubbing the pineapple thoroughly with a vegetable brush. I like to do a vinegar soak - which helps to remove bacteria and pesticides from the skin.Fill a large pot with enough water to submerge the pineapple body and add 1-2 tbsp of vinegar - this shouldn't affect the pineapple's flavor.Allow it to soak for between 20-30 minutes, then rinse well with clean water.
• Pat the rinsed pineapple dry and then remove the peel with a sharp paring knife. You can also use the pineapple core.The pineapple flesh can be eaten as a snack or stored in the fridge/freezer to make smoothies.
• Prepare the ginger and turmeric roots by washing and peeling them and then grating them using a garlic grating dish or a fine grater. Do this step with gloves on as the turmeric WILL stain your skin.You can alternatively slice them and slightly 'bruise' the pieces by bashing with the knife handle's hilt, but I find that the flavors infuse much better when grated.
• Juice the lemon and oranges.
• Add all of the ingredients (except the honey) into a large pot with water and heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for an hour - the longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will become.
• Allow the tea to cool down slightly before you sieve it and transfer it to bottles.Optionally, forego the sieve and remove the large pieces of pineapple skin and the rosemary. However, you will then have some remaining pulp in the drink.
• You can add a little sweetener now (I used honey), or just before serving it, or omit this entirely.The pineapple tea is then ready to drink immediately or store for later.
• You can enjoy the pineapple tea warm or cold. It can be enjoyed alone or added to other drinks, including lemonade and cocktails in place of pineapple juice.
• Fridge: Store the leftover pineapple skin tea in airtight glass containers (so they don't stain) in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.Freeze: The pineapple tea can also be frozen into ice-cubes to add to drinks or thaw and consume for between 1-2 months.

PINEAPPLE TEA RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put your chopping board onto a clean baking tray to catch any juices that might run off. Set your pineapple on the board. Lay it on its side and cut off the base and the top. Reserve them.
• Set the pineapple to sit on the base. Slice off the peel in strips from top to bottom till you've peeled it all. You can be generous with the flesh you remove so you cut off the eyes as well. Reserve the peels.
• Cut up the fruit, slicing flesh off opposite ends, then repeat with the other sides. Reserve the core.
• Put the top, base, peels, and core into a large pot.
• Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, cloves, and 8 cups of the water.
• In a blender, combine the ginger with 1 cup of the water. Blend on medium until thick and the fibers are broken down, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the mix into the pot of pineapple peels and rinse out with the remaining 1 cup of water.
• Bring to the boil on medium-high heat, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Turn down and let simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, tasting at the halfway mark. At that time, press down gently on the skins to break up the flesh and release additional pineapple flavor .
• Turn off the heat and let the juice cool down.
• Once cool, pass through a fine sieve/strainer and discard the solids. You could also pass through a cheesecloth/nut milk bag.
• Decant into bottles and refrigerate. You will see some sediments settle at the bottom.
• When ready to drink, heat up gently or pour on ice.

PINEAPPLE TEA RECIPE

Steps:

• To make slimming pineapple tea, you can cut and simmer an entire ripe pineapple along with its skin in 2 liters of water, and add 2 cinnamon sticks for flavor. You can also blend it once boiled and add it to water and heat. If you don't want too strong a flavor of the cinnamon in your tea, just put one stick.
• Now, add 4-5 tea bags to the boiling water and allow them to steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags. Stir in 2 teaspoons of sugar to it and let it simmer. In case, you use pineapple juice instead of actual pineapple pieces, you can add the juice in this stage.
• Switch off the gas stove and cover the pineapple tea for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tea flavor to completely seep in. Serve it, if you wish to have it hot. If you prefer to have it cold, refrigerate it for a while.
