Everyone loves an ice cold glass of lemonade during the
summer. Everyone also loves the tropical fruit pineapple over the summer, so we
thought to throw the two together and make it a party. Instead of using sugar
to sweeten this, we went for the healthier and more robust flavors of agave
syrup. There are three types of agave. Light: with is a neutral flavor, amber:
a mild maple flavor, and raw: deep and bold. For this recipe I am using amber,
because the maple is so delish. With
this recipe, feel free to add more water or agave to sweeten it. This is made a little tart because we love
acidic food, so taste and adjust.
Serves 5-6
5 cups chopped pineapple from 1 pineapple9 lemons
4 cups water
6 Tlbs. Agave
In a blender puree your pineapple. Once all your pieces are
pureed, pour the mix through a strainer, using a spatula to push all the juice
out of the pulp. You can set aside the left over pulp to use in a another
recipe, or just toss out. In the same blender (cleaned out) squeeze your lemons
through the strainer, in order to catch all the seeds, with the help and hand
juice. Once you squeeze all of your lemons, pour your pineapple juice, water,
and agave in. (You may want to do this all in portions so you don’t overflow
your blender!) Mix in the blender so that the agave mix evenly dissolves into
the drink. Pout mix into pitcher filled with ice and serve. We serve with a
slice of lime to add some color.
When life you give you lemons….make agave sweetened
pineapple lemonade!!!!
