Pineapple peel infusion is a caffeine-free drink with a fruity aroma and a way to use leftover pineapple peel. It is not proven to detox the body or treat disease, despite claims sometimes made about pineapple peel drinks.
To make Pineapple peel infusion, scrub and rinse the pineapple well, simmer the peel in water, then strain it. Add ginger or cinnamon if you like, and serve it warm or let it cool.
No, Pineapple peel infusion does not cause weight loss by itself. An unsweetened serving can be a light drink, but there is no good evidence that it burns fat or produces lasting weight loss.
Pineapple peel infusion has not been shown to reduce bloating or water retention. Drinking fluids supports hydration, but this infusion does not treat the cause of persistent swelling or digestive symptoms.
Most healthy adults can drink Pineapple peel infusion as a regular caffeine-free beverage. Stop if it causes mouth itching or stomach discomfort, and avoid it if you have a pineapple allergy.
No, boiling is likely to reduce the activity of bromelain, an enzyme associated with fresh pineapple. Pineapple peel infusion should not be relied on as a meaningful source of active bromelain.
Either fresh or properly dried pineapple peel can be used for Pineapple peel infusion. Fresh peel gives a brighter fruit aroma; discard any peel that is moldy, spoiled, or has an unpleasant smell.
Before making Pineapple peel infusion, scrub the whole pineapple under running water to remove dirt from the surface. Use a clean brush if needed, then peel it with a clean knife.
Store Pineapple peel infusion in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it soon after making it. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes, and do not leave it out for extended periods.
Yes, Pineapple peel infusion can be served cold, and it contains no caffeine, so caffeine is not a reason to avoid it at night. Chill it promptly after straining rather than leaving it at room temperature.

Pineapple peel infusion is made by steeping pieces of pineapple skin in hot water; some recipes simmer them briefly instead. It’s a simple way to use the peel after the fruit has been eaten, rather than a single standardised traditional drink. Depending on the recipe, the infusion can be served warm or chilled.
Its aroma is fruity, while the flavour is usually mild and not especially sweet. Around the world, people may add ginger, cinnamon or citrus, or drink it plain as an alternative to other herbal infusions. It is very light, with about 3 calories per 100 g. Scrub and rinse the pineapple thoroughly before using the peel, and leave out added sugar if you want to keep the drink light.
