PINEAPPLE AND LIME AGUA FRESCA



Pineapple and Lime Agua Fresca image

From The Food and Cooking of Spain, Africa and the Middle East, posted for Zaar World Tour III. When I made this, I made a half batch, but my limes were small and I used 1/2 lb of pineapple and 2 limes - and probably could have used 3. I also used sparkling mineral water, and it was fine. Sugar will be to taste, depending on how tart your fruit is.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pineapple
2 limes, juice of
2 cups still mineral water
1/4 cup caster sugar

Steps:

  • Peel the pineapple and chop the flesh, removing core and "eyes.".
  • You should have about 1 lb of fruit.
  • Put pineapple in food processor or blender and add the lime juice and half the mineral water.

  • Pour the strained mixture into a large jug, cover and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the remaining mineral water and sugar to taste.
  • Serve with ice.
  • (I'm thinking the grown-ups may want to add something else as well - rum or vodka or tequila all come to mind).
