Simmer well-washed pineapple peel with cinnamon and cloves, then strain the liquid. Add the basil and lemon after taking it off the heat for a fresher aroma. Drink it plain or sweeten it to taste.
It is a caffeine-free, flavorful drink, but there is no strong evidence that this particular tea treats illness or provides special health benefits. Unsweetened, it can be a refreshing alternative to sweetened drinks.
No, the tea itself has not been shown to cause weight loss or burn fat. Having it unsweetened instead of a sugary drink can reduce added sugar, but it is not a weight-loss remedy.
No, the ingredients in this infusion are naturally caffeine-free. It can be an option if you want a warm drink without caffeine, though lemon may bother people who are sensitive to acidic drinks.
Yes, strain the tea and chill it before serving. Adding the lemon after brewing keeps its flavor bright; refrigerate the drink rather than leaving it at room temperature for an extended period.
Yes, pineapple peel is the base of this infusion, but wash and scrub the fruit thoroughly under running water first. Discard any peel with mold or spoiled areas, and use a clean pineapple.
You can steep the peels again, but the second brew will usually be weaker and less aromatic. For a fuller flavor, use fresh peel and add the cinnamon, cloves, basil and lemon during brewing.
There is no good evidence that this specific tea improves digestion or treats bloating. Its warmth may feel soothing, but lemon can aggravate reflux or heartburn in some people.
Keep leftover tea in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it soon. Discard it if it has been left out for a long time or its smell or appearance has changed.
The safety of drinking this particular herbal blend regularly or in concentrated amounts during pregnancy has not been well studied. Ask your healthcare professional before making it a regular drink, especially if you use generous amounts of cinnamon or cloves.

Pineapple peel, cinnamon, clove, basil and lemon tea is a homemade infusion made by simmering pineapple peel with warming spices and basil, then adding lemon. It is less a single region’s signature drink than a practical way to use the peel left from fresh pineapple. Wash the fruit thoroughly before using the peel, and add the lemon near the end to keep its bright aroma.
Cinnamon and clove give the cup a fragrant, gently spiced character, while basil and lemon bring a fresh, lightly tart finish. It can be served hot after a meal or chilled over ice in warmer weather. Unsweetened, it is a very low-calorie drink; if you prefer a sweeter cup, try steeping the peel longer before reaching for sugar.
