Notes

  • Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your pineapple, you may need more or less sweetener. Always taste the mixture before adding more sugar or honey.
  • Substitutes: If you prefer a creamier version, you can swap some of the water for coconut water, adding a subtle tropical flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as the ingredients may naturally separate.
  • For an Alcoholic Version: Add a splash of rum or tequila for a fun twist on this refreshing beverage.
