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!

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.
