    Pineapple Water is a wonderful fruit infused water.

    Fresh water takes up the flavors of your fruits, resulting in a thirst quenching and rehydrating, simple but tasty water.

    TL;DR

    Pineapple Water is tap or bottled water flavored with fresh pineapple fruit chunks.

    The fruits are left to infuse in clear water so that the water takes up the flavor of the fruits.

    You might have come across these waters in a spa, in your hotel lobby or on a trip to Europe. Bottled infused fruit waters are typically found in some countries in Europe.

    Infused fruit waters are at times labeled as detox waters and spa waters because they are low calories. It's like drinking water, just that you have a hint of fruit flavors added to the water.

    The same can be achieved with other fruits, and some fruits are more suitable than others. Herbs and aromatic flowers make for excellent infused waters too.

    You can also make fresh mint water, lavender infused water, strawberry flavored water, cucumber lemon mint water, orange water and watermelon detox water.

    Ingredients

    • Pineapple — Fresh is preferred, but you may use canned pineapple. More info in the tips below.
    • Water — Fresh tap or bottled water
    • Ice Cubes — optional
    fresh pineapple
    Fresh mountain water

    Infused waters do not contain sugar. They are not sweet in nature, and the only sweetness is provided by the fruit itself.

    If you prefer sparkling water, you can switch plain “still” water with unflavored and unsweetened sparkling/soda/carbonated/aerated water. My mum does that with her sparkling water maker.

    How to make it?

    Step 1

    If you use fresh pineapple, cut off the pineapple ends and the peel. Slice and cut the pineapple into smaller chunks.

    Tip: if you are allergic to the pineapple core, cut it out.

    cut of pineapple peel
    Cut pineapple slices

    Step 2

    Place the fruit pieces into a bottle or pitcher.

    Top up with clear fresh water and close the bottle or pitcher with a lid.

    Step 3

    Keep your infused water in the fridge to cool and infuse at all times.

    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Infusing Time: 1 hour hour
    Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    For the Pineapple infused water:

    • Pineapple Chunks As many as you like, but don't fill up more than half your bottle
    • Water To top up
    • Ice Cubes optional

    Instructions

    • Keep your clean glass/pitcher/bottle ready.
    • Peel and cut your pineapple chunks, or keep prepped pineapple ready.
    • Place as many pineapple chunks as you want into your glass/jar/bottle. The more you add, the more flavorful your water will be. Just make sure that there is enough space to add water to infuse.
    • Top up with water.
    • Store in your fridge to infuse. You can enjoy the first round already after 60 minutes.
    • You can refill up to 3 times a day with fresh cool water and let the fruits infuse again before enjoying the pineapple infused water.

    Notes

    I don't recommend using fruit infuser bottles that come with an infuser basket because fruit pieces can get stuck and that's not hygienic at all. Just use a simple bottle, pitcher, or protein shake bottle as they are easier to clean.

    Equipment

    • glass/ pitcher/ bottle (see Notes) I use milk bottles or a glass pitcher (with lid) or a shaker (without infuser basket)
    • Bottle Brush To clean your bottles well

    Tips

    To make pineapple water, you can use fresh pineapple chunks from a whole fruit.

    You can use canned pineapple chunks, but it wouldn't be the same because, for one, they add sugar, and secondly, nothing beats a ripe fresh pineapple to make this pineapple infused water.

    The best part is that you can add as many fruit pieces as you want to your pineapple water. The more you add, the more flavorful it can get.

    Of course, picking quality pineapple is another plus point.

    At the same time, decide if you would like to make a bigger batch of pineapple water to please a bigger group or if you are planning to make this for yourself only. You can do both!

    To make a bigger batch of pineapple water, use a pitcher.

    To make pineapple water for yourself, use a glass or even better something like a mason jar or small milk glass bottle because then you can close the glass with a lid while the water gets infused with the pineapple.

    I recommend the lid option for hygienic reasons.

    Besides, you get to refill your glass once you have enjoyed your first batch of homemade fruit infused water! That's the best part so that the fruits find use not just once.

    I usually refill my bottle at least 3 times in the course of a day because I drink a lot of water and tea.

    On the first round, the pineapple infuses rapid because the fruits are fresh and new. Therefore, I keep the pineapple to infuse for about 30–60 mins the first time.

    The second time and third time (or even fourth round), you can keep the fruits to infuse a little longer. That is up to you, and depends on how you like it.

    Alternatively, you can infuse the pineapple chunks for one round and then eat the pineapple chunks. The fruit pieces don't go to waste!

    Ideas to Enjoy your Infused Water

    I typically make infused waters all year round, and not just in the hotter summer months for myself. When I sit writing and editing videos, I like to switch between infused waters and teas.

    If you work in an office, take your water with you to work, and it will last you the whole day if you top it up with fresh water all the time.

    Other than that, you can take it with you on a road trip, picnic, on a hike or to the beach.

    Storing

    Ideally, do not keep the fruit pieces for longer than 1 day in your bottle, even when refrigerated. Wash your bottle daily well with soap and a bottle brush.

    You can always add a new batch of fruits to your bottle.

    Try to keep your infused water cooled, but it's ok if that is not always the case (as long as you clean the bottle the same bottle).

      Do you drain pineapple chunks prior to drinking or do you drain pineapple add more water and put back in fridge to make new batch of infused water. I am assuming a pineapple added into water even refrigerated would only last day or two. Just love these recipes

        Yes you can Jen. Just know that frozen pineapple chunks are not that flavor intensive compared to fresh pineapple chunks.

      In Brazil, to ascertain whether the pineapple is ripe, we just pull one of leaves in the crown. If it comes out easily, it’s ripe. Because of the enormous number produced, the shops sell both “de vez” and ripe fruit. “De vez” means ready to ripen on its own, no artificial means needed.
