What is Pineapple peel infusion?
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.
