ReplyDeletePineapple Ginger Agua Fresca
It’s so interesting to me how pineapple and ginger become light and delicate without losing their flare when diluted with plenty of ice and water. This is a gorgeous drink and perhaps my favorite. These drinks are made in two parts: simple syrup and then blended fruit.
Ginger Simple Syrup
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
3 pieces of fresh ginger cut into coins
Bring water and sugar to a boil and then add the pieces of ginger. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain and discard the ginger.
For the Drink:
4 cups fresh pineapple with 2-4 cups of water to blend
8-10 cups of water
Puree the fruit and water in batches and then strain to remove any seeds or pulp. You can use a fine sieve or cheesecloth and you’ll want to get as much solids out of the liquid. Add the simple syrup to the strained liquid and then dilute with 8 to 10 cups of water. At this point you can adjust the sugar and water levels to your liking. Serve over plenty of ice and enjoy immediately.
and here is the website for the horchata, it is too long to copy :)
