Ingredients

• 1 large ripe pineapple (about 1.2 kg), peeled and chopped, core included
• 80 g fresh ginger, scrubbed and sliced
• 1 Lime, juiced
• 1 Lemon, juiced (optional)
• 1 l cold water, divided
• 2 tbsp sugar, to taste (optional)
• ice, to serve

Method

1. Blend the pineapple and ginger with 500 ml of the water until completely smooth (in batches if needed).
2. Pour through a fine sieve or muslin-lined sieve into a jug, pressing hard on the pulp to squeeze out all the juice.
3. Stir in the remaining water, the lime juice, the lemon juice, if using, and sugar to taste.
4. Chill well and serve over ice. Shake or stir before pouring, as it settles.

Tips

• Fresh ginger is strong: start with half, taste, then add more.
• Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Sweeten with honey if you prefer, though it is then no longer vegan.
