Hawaiian Breeze

Hawaiian Breeze
Don't throw out the rind the next time you buy a fresh pineapple! Instead, use it to create our refreshing tropical beverage, Hawaiian Breeze or Hawaiian Breeze Tea!
One of our favorite fruits is a big, bold, juicy pineapple! Whether we’re slicing them up to caramelize them with ham or poultry, chopping them to go in a fruit salad or shredding them to prepare our yummy pineapple jam, we’re always left with one thing: the peel, which until now was always tossed into our compost bin. But now we sometimes buy pineapples just for their rough skins to make this tropical beverage we’re sure you’ll love! Tinged with fresh ginger, allspice and a bit of sugar, our Hawaiian Breeze is so refreshing you’ll want to make it again and again!

PREP: 10 minutes + 24 hours brewing time

INGREDIENTS

  • Peel of 1 pineapple, washed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 whole allspice berries
  • 1 teaspoon peeled, freshly grated ginger (about one ½-inch piece)
  • Ice, for serving

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
  2. Place pineapple peel, sugar, allspice, and ginger in a large heatproof pitcher. Pour boiling water into pitcher and stir to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours; strain. Transfer to refrigerator to chill; serve over ice.

TIP: You can also use this recipe to make Hawaiian Breeze Tea. Simply add two family-sized teabags to the ingredients in step two and allow tea to brew.
